How to Unblock Images in Outlook Express

Problem: You have installed Service Pack 2 and now when you open email messages in OE, they get a red X placeholder instead of images that were embedded in the message. This happens because of a security setting that SP2 turns on by default. You can easily turn it back off.

    Here's how:

       1.   Click Start | Programs.

       2.   Click Outlook Express to open it.

       3.   Click the Tools menu.

       4.   Select Options.

       5.   Click the Security tab.

       6.   Uncheck the checkbox labeled "Block images and other external content in HTML e-mail.

       7.   Click OK.

    Now your images should show up in HTML messages.
