Is it possible that the recipient has blocked the automatic opening of attachments? Even inline images in HTML-formatted E-mail messages actually traverse the Internet as attachments, separated from the message as it is sent and (if allowed by the recipient) recombined with the message upon receipt. However, that recombination will not occur if the recipient is blocking the automatic opening of attachments. Why block images? Even images have been found to contain malware. Just go to <http://search.us-cert.gov/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&input-form=advanced&affiliate=us-cert&query-or=JPEG+GIF+PNG+BMP&per-page=10&filter=off&x=31&y=9>. That lengthy URI is a search query of the Web site of the US-CERT, an office within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The search will show a large number of vulnerability alerts and bulletins relating to malware in JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP files. -- David E.
