| 604751 | 2007-10-24 03:58:00 | When I send messages by Email with pictures most people get the dreaded red cross where the picture should be, I don't think I have changed anything what could it be? :o |

| 604753 | 2007-10-24 04:49:00 | This appears to be another weakness in (like most things M$) Outlook Express . I think changing the defaults to lower the security are just plain bad ideas . I wouldn't do it . Like that link says: ""Some pictures have been blocked to help prevent the sender from identifying your computer . Click here to download pictures" when a message containing a link to an external image file is received . You can change this configuration option, so that external images are always displayed, but it is not advisable . " |

| 604754 | 2007-10-24 05:06:00 | If I understand you correctly, it's not a problem at your end, but rather for the recipients? Consequently, it's not a question of whether you have changed anything. The answer lies in how the recipients' computers are set up - and whether they're prepared to lower their security settings or not. I have done that myself in order to receive pictures from friends I trust, but it's important to make sure your antivirus/spyware protection is up to date. Guess I'm not as cautious here as Joe... But someone else may have a better solution, of course? |

| 604755 | 2007-10-24 05:56:00 | I was just going to start a new thread when I saw this one. My problem sounds very similar. I send a short email with a photo attached (of my garden) to friends in Aus. They reply that they can not open it. ".jpg is good" they say. Well I have only ever sent in.jpg for many years. I thought I would send a trial email with a photo to 2 other friends. The one in Wakino has not replied, The one in Tauranga, who is with Eol keeps getting a message from Eol's email scanner saying "Dangerous content". I also get a message from the same email scanner saying "Fragmented messages can not be opened and will be removed" They also advise me to change from RICH TEXT to PLAIN TEXT or HTML. When I checked this part I was alredy on PLAIN TEXT. I have a feeling that all this started when I began using Outlook Express a few weeks ago when Xtra cocked up my webmail and I did not want to use that new yahoo stuff. There is no mention by anyone of the "red cross" |

| 604756 | 2007-10-24 07:00:00 | Check if you have Break apart messages selected in OE Select Tools | Accounts from the menu. Highlight the desired account. Click Properties. Go to the Advanced tab. Make sure Break apart messages larger than __ KB is not checked. Click OK. |

| 604757 | 2007-10-24 07:35:00 | Safari..What you explained seems to be the problem. I found my "break apart" was set at 100kb. My short email with one photo was 156kb. I have unchecked this and resent the email. Will not know the outcome until my recipient replies. Will let you know the outcome. Thanks. | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 604758 | 2007-10-24 22:39:00 | Try sending to yourself. Will quickly help you sort it out. | Peter H (220) | ||
| 604759 | 2007-10-25 03:29:00 | Peter H. Never thought of that.Durh. Safari, Had a reply from Tauranga. Everything now all good. Incidently I sent an extra email via Yahoo and that worked fine. Thankyou for your solution. |
