Why can't I see an image?

[tbuccino]

My home printer is broken, so I emailed an image I needed to print to my work computer. My plan was to use the color printer at work. I opened the email and veiwed all the printing around the image, but the image isn't visible. All I see is a little red X in a box.

I really need to print this today because I will not be back to work until the middle of next week.

Can someone help me solve this problem?

tbuccino--Several possibilities
1) Right click on the RedX|Show Picture.
2) The email program at work is set to not show images. In OE, for example, if you click OE Tools|Options|Read tab there is a setting to "Read all messages in plain text". You would want to uncheck that box if checked. And on the the Security tab there is a setting to "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened...". Again, uncheck that. Other email programs have similar settings. And your employer may have set a group policy to not show images in Email.
3) You did not tell us what email program is involved or whether you sent the image as an insert or as an attachment. Whichever method you used, try the other one next time.
4) You may have sent the image incorrectly. Or you sent the image from Outlook and the email program at work is not Outlook. In this case try forwarding the email at work to yourself at work.

It's possible that the image was too big and it got filtered out. Since you didn't give any ISP or email provider info, it's hard to say if they have attachment file size limits.

Why didn't you just put the image onto a flash drive?
