Why Can't I Fwd Email Without Losing Graphics?

I frequently receive email containing graphics. However, when I attempt to forward them, even to myself, in place of the graphics, only blank squares with red checks up in the left hand corner come through. I'm using OE 6.0 and MSN 8. Anyone have ideas? Could it be some restrictive setting that I may have in place and am unaware of? Thanks.

 

This is not a reply but another clue which may help someone to come up with an answer to this problem. I have found that if I save a message with graphics, just as it comes complete with headers, then I can pull it up as an attachment and it forwards OK. However, if I attempt to delete the headers before saving it as an attachment, then it forwards without the graphics and with only the above described squares or rectangles with the red x up in the left hand corner in their place. cwilmot
