large email

[dasadler]

This may be the wrong place to ask but...

Why would an email come in that is 1 MB in size without any attachment and only a few lines of text? My wife is using Outlook 2007 and a friend sent an email... she said there was an embedded image but we see no image and there is no attachment... just a few lines of text yet it is 1 MB.

Is there some Outlook setting that might be preventing the image from displaying? I was looking in the options of her Outlook and noticed a Security and Attachments tab with level 1 and level 2 stuff (whatever that means). When I went to compare her settings to my Outlook 2007, I see that my Outlook does not have any such Security and Attachments tab.

Now I am really confused - same product but I am missing that tab.

Any thoughts on this... why we cannot see the image, why the email is so large, and why our Outlooks differ?

According to an article in Slip Stick...

There are three causes of pictures not displaying in Microsoft Outlook email messages:
You are blocking external content, your SecureTemp folder is "full", or you have Word's Picture placeholder setting enabled.

Thanks Rudi, I will look into these.

Any idea why the two Outlooks would be different?

Perhaps an add-in?
