If a forwarded email is received by someone that had imbedded pictures, but they showed up as boxes with x’s, the SENDER may re-send using a copy of the email with the pictures, but sending it as an original, not a forward. The sender highlights and copies the email, pastes it on a new email and sends it to the recipient. It will work every time.
This was suggested by my ISP, Earthlink, on my Comcast cable connection. They said that successive forwarding sometimes corrupts the imbedded pictures. I don’t know how to restore a corrupted picture email without having the sender re-send by the above process. In other words, I can’t take a received box with a little x and do anything with it by myself. Earthlink could not help me with that aspect.
Perhaps there is someone in HAL-PC that can shed some light on a fix. It is interesting that some recipients of a forwarded embedded email that I send receive it just fine, while others get a corrupted version.

Another way if you are the person doing the forward of a message where you can see everything OK is to do a “Redirect” instead of “Forward”. In that case the original MIME HTML (.mht) format is preserved exactly as received.
