There are new security features that are added into Outlook Express (OE)
when you install Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). By default, SP2
blocks OE's ability to display graphics and other external content in
HTML e-mail messages.
This security feature is designed to prevent spammers from using a technology called 'Web Beacons' which lets spammers know that they have a legitimate e-mail address. The way Web Beacons work is when the e-mail client requests an embedded graphic, it has a unique identifier attached to it. The unique identifier tells the spammer which email addresses are legitimate.
To turn off this feature and enable graphics, follow the instructions below
