I can't open Email attachments (pictures)'  The text comes through,but
the images do not.  Sometimes there is a box with an X in the corner. 
I have unlocked the security tab. It has been suggested that these
Emails with an attachment must have an extension to open them.  When I
send myself an Email the extension immediately appears and everything
is as it should be.  Without an ext. can be compared to opening a
combination lock.
 
                    After all is said and done what is the solution? (
these emails have been sent to as many as 5 recipients or more)

Hi whoha,

I answered a similar question regarding OE and attachments.  Perhaps
the information provided will be of help to you too.
