No Picture, Just a Red X in Pictures in OE6.
Hi all. Mate of mine has a red x appearing in his emails instead of a picture/banner ad etc.

BRL,
If he's using XP then it could be the result of one of the Security Improvements introduced with SP2.
See this article on the Microsoft Support site for full details (scroll to the bottom).

Increased Protection from Spam
Another Windows XP SP2 enhancement to Outlook Express helps prevent spam by limiting malicious users from capturing your e-mail address. You've probably noticed that junk e-mail often contains graphics. Sometimes as the graphic displays, it relays a message letting the sender know your e-mail address is valid, possibly making you the target of even more junk e-mail and spam.
By default, the Outlook Express now blocks external graphics from loading until you grant permission. It's a good idea to block any graphics that you receive unless you know and trust the source.
