OUTLOOK 2007 embedded images do not display

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/image001.jpg" o:title="kn"/>
  </v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><img width=417 height=118
  src="cid:150770-22009422113503623411@13071999"

I have seen a comment somewhere that the OUTLOOK 2007 editor does not recognise forward slashes (/) ? However the cid source reference has no such characters.

Any ideas anyone ?

Hello RichardTatlow,

1. Outlook blocks images. Here is how to unblock them

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\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\X30MWG3N

Outlook Temp Cleaner to find and clean OLK folder

Hope this helps!

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.
