When forwarding an email which has an image in the body of the email to my
wife's niece who is using Outlook Express, she can see the text of the email
but does not see the image.

I had her click Options>Read and had her remove the checkmark in the "Read
all messages in plain text", clicked Apply, clicked OK and closed Outlook
Express. She rebooted her computer (to be on safe side), launched Outlook
Express and accessed the email which has an image in the body - once again
she could see the text but could the image was not being displayed.

Any suggestions???

Does this happen only with this one recipient? What if you forward to
yourself, or another?

Tools | Options | Send | HTML Settings. Is Send pictures with messages
checked on your machine?

Do they see a red X? If they are using XP/SP2 or 3, have they unchecked
"Block images..............."?

Does the picture show in your Sent Items?

If they check the message source, (Ctrl+F3), do they see the encoding for
the picture? If not, it was not in the message for them to see.

If you forward the same message to yourself, what do you see?

I too experience problems when I forward email, Outlook Express comes up
with an error message "Cannot find one or more of the pictures, it is
possible pictures will not be sent". This is really irratating and I can't
get to the bottom of it.

I'd asked you to forward the same message to yourself. If you did so, the
problem is not on your end, Pierre.
