How do i automatically see pictures in message body??

OK folks...never saw that anyone posted how to fix this: I just figured out a
workaround that resolves this issue.

The main problem is that, despite what the Outlook 2007 Help files say, you
have lost the "add to safe senders list" in the right click context menu when
you right click on a blocked graphic. What can be done is this:

1) Sort the email to the junk email mailbox
2) Go to that mailbox, find the message, then click "Not Junk" on the menu bar
3) On the next pop-up screen, ensure the checkbox is checked for "Always
trust mail from"
4) This will sort that email to the Inbox
5) Pictures in the body of all emails from that sender will now display
properly

Hope this helps!

Unblock picture downloads for a single message:
You can unblock downloads of linked pictures and other external content for
a single message that comes from a source that you trust:

Click the InfoBar at the top of the message, and then click Download Pictures.
Note: When you click Download Pictures in a message that you are
previewing in the Reading Pane, the message is automatically saved and
displays the pictures again the next time that you open the message. When you
click Download Pictures in an open message, if you want the message to
display the pictures the next time that you open the message, you must save
the message.



Unblock picture downloads for all messages:
On the Tools menu, click Trust Center, and then click Automatic Download.
Clear the Don't download pictures automatically in HTML e-mail messages or
RSS items check box.

Unblock picture downloads for all messages from a particular e-mail address
or domain:
In an open message that was sent from that e-mail address or domain,
right-click one of the blocked items.

The problem is that imbeded pictures in incoming emails are not displayed in
the body if one is using Outlook. All other email clients allow the user to
select this option.

I recently purchased Microsoft Enterprise 2007 for my sons. so they could
have power point and excel for school.

I prevoiusly used Windows Live mail but decided to go with the Microsoft
Office outlook 2007 that came with the package.

I to cannot see pictures in my email
(never had this problem with Windows live mail).
I have read blogs and google help for days and tried all of the soloutions
....still no luck.

I am running Windows XP Home with updated microsoft add-ins and updates
and IE 8.


In addition to unchecking 'don't download pictures' in the Trust Center, I
tried going
to Internet, Advanced Options, and in the checklist under multimedia, and
un-checked view placeholders for pictures.

I also ran several registry repair programs and still no luck.

Still no photos in emails. Help someone please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no idea what bit in IE you were told to check and uncheck, but
outlook doesn't display attachments inline - it never has. If the message
has embedded images, such as you'll find in HTML, then they will display
within the message.

See http://www.slipstick.com/mail1/inline.asp for alternate methods that
should meet your needs.

I have the same problem. I can't see the pictures in the preview pane OR
when I open the message proper. In other words, the only way I can view
attachments of any kind is to click on them to open them, which includes
pictures. It drives me nuts. Shops sending me jog's of stock, where there
could be 20 pics, and I have to view each seperately. What an incredibly
stupid idea. I've tried finding the bit in IE that was suggested above and
have unticked, reticked and unticked the download section in the trust
centre. How utterly ridiculous. When the email is OPEN the pics should be
there just like in every other client.

Has there been a solution to this question? Microsoft told me that there was
a fix if I paid $139 to them. I checked my registry and couldn't find
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\BlockHTTPImages - anywhere. I
believe that the change came in a update. I didn't have this problem a month
ago. Please let me know if anyone has a solution.

My Outlook worked fine until about two months ago. Then all of a sudden
embedded pictures (not attached pictures) were no longer viewable. When I
right click on where the picture should be, the only option offered is COPY.

I read all of these posts and many more on the web. It's like Microsoft's
attitude is just "oh well, it's your fault you use our product". If
Microsoft doesn't read these posts and/or other comments on the web, they
should. And then they should do something about it. Pick up a telephone,
call a customer, try to understand the issue that so many people post a
complaint about.

I have a solution that I will happily share with future readers. This is my
last Windows based computer and Microsoft Office Suite / Email product. I
have had it up to my eyeballs and have finally comitted to switch to the far
superior Apple product. I don't feel like I will be giving anything up,
other than system crashes and defective software.

Thanks for nothing to Bill and the folks at Microsoft.

I just got a new computer and am running Office 2007. My emails are not
coming through with pictures even though I have gone into the security tab of
the options and deselected the option. I do have AVG on the computer. Can
anyone tell me if it has been determined to be the problem?

What do you see instead? Do you see a box containing a red X or do you
just see white space where a picture could be?

If you have AVG configured to scan incoming messages, it could
interfere. Uninstall AVG and reinstall it without the mail scanning
feature.

I agree 110%. This is ridiculous. My problem is that I was seeing the
pictures, then I did something to save some pix I was sent within an email,
and now I just have blank boxes where my pictures would be and I cannot
retrace and correct what I did!!!!! Even the logo in my signature is a blank
box!!
So I have a little hope (at least) that my particular problem can be
corrected, but going to the ironically-named "Trust Center" and following
those directions does NOT seem to work. PLEASE - any suggestions?!

This is really annoying. I've been using Outlook and every version created
since it's inception and haven't had nearly the problem with this issue as
this latest version.

I too have people forward messages with lots of pictures embedded within..
Everyone else can see them using other products but Outlook users can't. I
can even sign onto live hotmail live msn hotmail msn live ( a little stab at
MS Marketing there) website and the message looks fine with embedded pictures
shown.. Only Outlook blocks normal usage of email. I wonder how long the
evil empire thinks this will work in their favor? This compounded with the
other Microsoft/Office issues I'm growing frustrated with will drive me to
another email client, soon. This is probably the last version of Office
I'll purchase as I'm very disappointed in this product and the problems I
have to spend my time troubleshooting (with no support from the mfg)..

I'm pretty sick of Microsoft "protecting me" from the villans that only they
can see.. They've killed so much functionality in the name of "protecting
you the consumer" that it's become almost little value to use MS Office at
all..

Sorry for the rant but I'm one unhappy MSFT customer with Office 2007 and
Vista.. Both completely suck.

Especially since you attempt to hijack an old thread instead of starting
your own NEW thread that details YOUR setup and YOUR problem.


--- Posting Hints ---

ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER
than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here is
looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you don't
well explain your situation by providing the details that you already know,
don't expect others to know what is your situation. Explain YOUR computing
environment and just what actions you take to reproduce the problem.

Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go on
(no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually move on
to the next post and never return to yours.

TO: Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Care to restate the problem?

In OutLook 2007, images in some messages show up as a box with a red x in
the upper left corner, with the immage that should be displayed being held as
an attachment. Telling 1,000 email senders to send in RTF or HTML is not a
practical option! Are there security settings in IE that can resolve this
issue as Kathy suggested? If so, what settings need to be changed?

I use OutLook 2007, but it also occurred in OutLook 2003. I would lik
the embedded photo's to be displayed inline with the text in the body o
an opened message just as the sender created them, even if the messag
is not sent in RFT or HTML format.

If the sender embeds the images in the body of the message, you wil
see them in the body, even in the Reading Pane. The message MUST b
HTML or Rich Text for that to happen. If they attached the images o
the message in in Plain Text, there's nothing you can do to see them i
the Reading Pane except one at a time using the Preview feature
