disabling graphics placeholders

[sheri fisher]

I am emailing a web page with some graphics, and some
recipients may have text-only browsers. Is there a way to
prevent the empty boxes with the red x's from displaying
if the graphic in it cannot be viewed by the recipient?

The red X is displayed by a graphics-capable browser when it cannot find the
graphics file. My guess is that a text-only browser would simply ignore
image tags. BTW I have never heard of a text-only browser. Are you sure
about that?

Lynx is one such text only browser. But, perhaps the OP was referring to
text-only in reference to the mail reader, such as OE?

If they are getting a box with a red x then the email client is not text only. It indicates that the image files can not be found.
