> Does anyone know why, when I send out an e-mail with a graphic in it, that the receivers get only a blank picture. I'll get jokes and things with pictures in them and I try to forward them but the people I send them to complain that they're getting blank messages. Actually, I think they get that little box that indicates that a graphic was there originally.

Kara,I think it has to do with your settings but I'm not sure which ones exactly. I think that harmful stuff can be in those files, so the default setting may prevent viewing them - especially with XP.
You may be right that it's your security setting. You may not be allowing certain files. Other ideas is that it's a setting in whatever handles your email, like Outlook Express - options or tools - or in the advanced settings of your browser.
In Outlook, look under Tools, then Options, then Security. You should see a box that, if checked, won't allow attachments to be opened. Uncheck that and press Apply.
Just remember any changes you make, so you can reverse them if need be.
Hope that helps. I'm still finding my way around the computer myself.
