Hi all. For the last few days I have been unable to send pics with any messages I send. To be more precise, the pics insert but the recipients receive the "red x" instead. All the messages in my sent folder have the red x, but I sent a test to myself and I now see the pics just fine (I changed nothing), but still all my recipients state they are not getting them.
I hope this makes sense, strange problem.
what kind of format are the pictures...jpg, gif,tif,etc?
thanks for the reply phishhead, they are jpg and gif.
when was the last time it worked? and has anything changed since then...hardware or software changes....
what ISP do you use? and do you have outlook 2000 or xp to test a different mail client
I have been getting e-mails for about 4 days that the pics aren't coming through. The first day, I checked everything, changed nothing and "voila" I can view the pics, but it seems no one else can. As for changes, I haven't changed anything. I did a clean-up last week (like I always do) and got rid of the usual, temp files, cookies, temp int files.

if its already installed let us know
Hello........
Have any of the folks that are receiving your e-mails tried to right click on the red X and then select show picture? If so what happens when they do?
Kelli,are you embedding the images in the message body,or sending them as attachments?
Well egghead, that would be if I have sp1 installed, right?
I do not, that is a whole different problem for me.
@Tinker, I never thought of that. Will ask.
@phishhead, rogers, and I tried outlook, and another e-mail address, but I don't see the difference as now I'm seeing the pic, but everyone else is saying they can't. I just received another e-mail reply, telling me still no go, with the pic right smack in the middle of the e-mail!
thanks for all your help on this one-you guys are great!
@ Reverend, I've tried both and no go.
Kelli,send me the email,and i'll see if i get the same problem.

Thanks Reverend, sent.:)
Just received it,works fine for me.
It maybe a problem with your recipients ISP's
Thanks for all your help everyone! I will have to ask them who they use-I know a few of them are the same as me, I just find it strange that it's 20 other people's problem-not mine. Oh, well, I can live with that.;)
O.K. I lied, I cannot live with that! This is really bugging me now.
I am dealing with 6 different providers, so how can that be their problem and not mine, and how can it be fixed, if that's the case?
Right after I e-mailed you Reverend I sent to 2 different providers, and still no go.
OK kelli look here .
I hope this helps.......
Thanks Tinker, that was one of the first things I saw. I have everything configured the right way. My girlfriend who uses sprint just informed me she received no embedded pic, and my girlfriend who uses netzero did. (after umpteen e-mails) This is a really strange problem, it has me stumped.
I have scanned for viruses, nothing there. So, ??????
I'm going to bed, maybe Bill Gates will come to me in a dream (scary thought), just to solve my attachment problem!:p
Hi all! I have solved this strange problem. I came across something on the internet the other day similar to my problem.
Users reporting conflicts between "hotbar" and "outlook express"
I never thought of that as the time frame was not an issue (or so I thought) Anyway, I uninstalled hotbar, and voila, problem fixed.
Thought I'd share just in case.;)
great to hear what the problem eas!
its nice to see the solutions for the variuos problems.
cheers
