Many mail clients should block images. There is usually something that you can click on that either lets you open the message in a web browser or unblocks the images. The former option I think it generally best as browsers are generally more secure than email client viewer applications. Regards.

One minute they are there and then they are not. Is there a setting in outlook express? This is for my wife by the way, hope you don't mind.
