I have a brand new PC with Vista Ultimate and Microsoft office 2007 which has been in use with OUTLOOK 2007 for 3 days. Emails containing embedded images in HTML format do not display the image - only a red cross plus "This is the alternative text for....". The same email sent to OUTLOOK 2003 running under XP displays correctly. None of the OUTLOOK 2007 settings switches that I can find make any difference and downloaded images accessed through URL links display correctly.
The attached email file source code includes references to the file:
<v:imagedata src="knsample_files/image0
</v:shape><![endif]--><

Hello war1
Thanks for the advice.
Option 1: no effect because this refers to downloaded images and mine are embedded
Option 2: I checked the registry and ran the Outlook Temp Cleaner program which confirmed the Temporary File folder name (7H6NRSGM rather than your X30MWG3N) but when I opened it said it was empty - I emptied it again anyway, but this has made no difference.

Found source of problem which is non-standard WORD-specific HTML tags put into the HTML section of the MIME message. OUTLOOK 2007 interprets something incorrectly and does not read the embedded image code. For example the v:imagedata tag is special. Creating an HTML source using a different editor which uses only standard tags produces an email which OUTLOOK 2007 reads and displays correctly. My conclusion is : do not use WORD to create HTML files which are going to be emailed.

Hello RichardTatlow,
1. Outlook blocks images. Here is how to unblock them
http://office.microsoft.co
2. The Outlook folder where images open may be full. Clear the files from Outlook cache folder OLKxx. This folder is difficult to access. Here is a way to access the folder and files

In Vista, the Secure Temp folder is located at C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Te
