No graphics coming with email now

[jlshields]

Not computer savvy so be gentle with me. I just got a new computer set up and running with Windows XP and MSN Mail(had 98 on old one). The whole format on email has changed and I no longer get any graphics. <br />Is this a result of a setting somewhere or is it the XP?

Its a security thing to prevent the sender from identifying your computor.<br />You can download the graphics by clicking on the message box under the email title.

Thanks RPJS. A lot of the eBay and other catalog notices we get now have any graphics either.

As a general rule, don't download the graphics unless you know the source though. As RPJS stated, doing so allow the sender to identify your computer.
