Never seen this statement, though I get "[The picture or image contained in this e-mail cannot be viewed using this version of AOL.]" all the time. It is caused by folks who send mail with pictures embedded in the mail body, rather like a newsletter. The "this version of AOL" is most likely a vestige of the days when Emailer was written and was allowed access via a proprietary interface to AOL mail servers. Access via that link must be "evidence" that the user is using an "older" version of an AOL client (probably 2.7 or 3?). Perhaps these two error messages are related? >The only other thing I think might be going on is that if the attachment >is large or comes from someone who hasn't sent an email before to you, >they give you the opportunity to not view the attachment when you go >online to retrieve it. > >I don't have a problem with anything except photos.
