As long as you don't consider the email to be 'dodgy', reconnect to the internet and open the email. The image will get downloaded and should appear, if it doesn't, right click on it and select 'show picture.'

There's a setting in OE for it but I'm too lazy to find it right now.

They were sent and received okay. Later I did a rehash on one, new document but did not do the full Insert/Picture/From file thing. I simply opened an old document and the new. Did a straight copy graphic from the old and paste to the new. When I sent them out, the recipients got the red cross instead of each graphic. I might be wrong but I concluded that the copy/paste had lost the links to the orginal graphics. Scouse (83)
