If you are seeing that in place of graphics, the problem is with the originator of the email. Either they have chosen to send a message without including the graphic or if they are using Outlook Express they have not gone to Tools|Options|Send tab, clicked "HTML Settings" and checked "Send pictures with messages."
If someone sends you an e-mail and it has a url link to a photograph and either you are off line when you look at it or the remote site is not available you will get the red x.
I've also got e-mails from people that didn't format the e-mail correctly or entered the incorrect URL to a photo and it will give a red x too.
In almost all cases it's the way the e-mail was formatted, not something your e-mail program is doing.
My problem was solved by not disconnecting from the line when reading my e-mail. I also lowered the security option. I think my problem all along was the disconnect prior to reading. A solution given by one of the responders to my problem.
Send/Receive problem: The message box that drops down when I click on Send/Receive in OE no longer displays completely. Therefore, I can't check the progress of sending and receiving. The message box used to display in the center of the screen but several days ago it moved way over to the left side of the screen and there is only a partial box showing now. I use windows XP professional.
The only thing I remember changing was changing the background for the desktop from one picture to another.
You have helped me in the past and I hope you can help this time. I've already spent a long time in Microsoft FAQ's and messages trying to find an answer to this question.
