The box with a Red X -- Missing pictures in Outlook Express

I've
recently received the same question multiple times -- and I can't figure out
why it is that some users have such a hard time sending an image to a friend
via email with Outlook Express? So,
I'm going to ask for help on this one -- hopefully a Gazette Reader can give
me some insight.
Here are some of the most recent questions I've received about "missing
pictures in Outlook Express":
" Hello, Since I replaced Outlook Express 5 by Outlook Express 6, my
photos sent by email in the text or as attachment disappear. All my
friends complain that they only see a
small box with a red X
in it.
Norton System Works checks my Outgoing mail but is seems to be very fast
and is seems that the pictures are stripped before or during the scan.
Thanks Frits B. "
James E. also wrote in with a seemingly similar problem:
" I'm interested in digital photography and often send pictures to my
family and friends.
Usually, I just click on "Insert" then "Picture". I then locate the
picture and put it into the body of my message. This does not require that
the picture be sent as an attachment.
Recently, some of my recipients have reported seeing only small square
boxes with a
small box with a red X
in the place where the picture should have appeared.
Do you know why I'm experiencing this problem? If I send the
pictures as attachments they arrive OK. "
The solution
to this question has been answered in the following issue of the Gazette.
