When I receive an attach with pictures and printing and forward to
email friends, they only receive small red x's plus printing; also,
the forwarding material is changed on their email to "subject", rather
than "attachment".

I use usol as email server.  

Since my question, I have discovered that many of the pictures and
sayings I am now receiving have notes that they may not be forwarded
due to possible harm of viruses...so, guess this answers my original
question to you...still can't understand why I cannot forward pics on
attachments where no virus is seen.to tar heel v-ga

I believe all that could be answered on this question have been
answered...doesn't really help as I still am unable to forward
attachments, only empty spaces with small red x's in them...Ah, well!
Thank you Google people!    teddyd-ga

Are you using Outlook to Send mail?
if so then take a look at this 
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm
to remove it download the free tool from 
http://www.slovaktech.com/attachmentoptions.htm
for outlook express

When you see a x in a mail, then the graphic is not available or a
viewer for it is not presently installed.

For instance, you may have to forward the mail as an ATTACHMENT in
some mail systems to get the pictures to appear when the recipient
opens it. So make sure your mail application properly configured to
send attachments. If all it can send is plain text mails, recipients
will never get to see the pictures.

Peace
Chief!

Yes, as far as I know, I am using Outlook Express, but don't know
which one it is...only know that even when checking on the listings
you gave in answer, I still don't have any idea of exactly how I could
possibly go about forwarding harmless little messages with small
cartoon figures as I have always done until Feb. when I renewed Mcafee
(automatically), and then it began xing out all pictures in
forwarding....oh, well, I guess I will just leave all as is, asd I
have no idea, still, of how to change this now, and certainly don't
want to be unprotected from future viruses.  Thank you, all...
