I have the Windows XP Outlook Express thing.
Many thanks in advance and Happy New Year to all! ▲ Collapse

Hi Philippe,
1. In Outlook Express, go to the Tools menu and select Options.
2. Click the Security tab.
3. I think you'll find that the Block pictures and other content in HTML e-mails checkbox in the Picture Download section is ticked. Unchecking it should solve the problem.

If this doesn't help, check if the Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus checkbox in the Virus Protection section on the same tab is enabled. If it is, try disabling it to see if this is the cause for the message.
BTW, I've got a German version of Windows XP so the UI options might have slightly different names in your language version.
Hope this helps.
Bonne année,
Rebekka ▲ Collapse

| If it's spam anyway, don't bother | Dec 28, 2005 |
Those graphics are typically designed to provide feeback that your spam has been received by you to help verify it's a real, spammable address. So if the e-mail came from someone or a company you do business with or visit their site, then it's okay, as they have your address anyway. But if it's true undesired spam, then don't take any measures to "see" the images.

TOPIC STARTER | Thanks Rebekka | Dec 28, 2005 |
I haven't received any new message yet, so can't check it but your info certainly matched what I found in my (English) version of Outlook.
Thanks a lot and Happy New Year!

Please be careful. Outlook and Outlook Express are two completely different products.
Outlook is a highly configurable PIM (personal information manager) and used by many large corporations and individuals -- Outlook Express has practically no configuration options and is a very basic e-mail and news product, with no PIM functions.
Outlook Express is the product that is plagued with problems.
