Red "x" where image should be for images in email body

A user is unable to view images embedded in the body of emails. A red
"x" appears instead of the image however when she emails that image to
myself and other users, the image is there. The image is a .bmp and I
have checked the security settings on the Outlook client and even
uninstalled Outlook 2003 and reinstalled.

I had the same problem and could not find the solution. A reinstall did
fix it for me [a reinstall of WINDOWS, that is].

I also did not have the security settings set to hide graphics.

Interestingly (and you should try this), if I looked at the E-Mail in
"sent mail", the red X was present (mind you, this was in an E-Mail that
I myself composed and sent, and it was a JPEG). If I then FORWARDED the
E-Mail, the image appeared when I was forwarding it. Once it was
forwarded, if I then looked at either message in my sent mail folder ...
I was back to the red X.

Unfortunately, I never found the problem. But reinstalling WINDOWS did
fix it. Not a good or easy solution, however.
