Thunderbird - can't see the picture

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood · 09-12-2006, 06:36 AM

My friend sent some pictures by email. The only thing I see is a red diamond in the corner of the picture. Do I need something for Thunderbird to view them, or something for windows? Could it be an Acrobat picture file?

What happens when you right-click on it?

By default, Thunderbird will not display pictures unless you decide to. There should be a message somewhere that tells you that it has blocked some images... right-click on that for options in dealing with those images.

Whats Thunderbird?

An email client from the folks at Mozilla... the ones who brought you FireFox as an alternative to IE.

Check www.mozilla.org for details. I've been using it for a couple of years now on all my machines.

Right clicking on the image (or white area where the image is) gives 2 options: select all and copy image location?

There's no button for "show images" which it sometimes has.

I think I need a plug-in.

We have FF installed on our computers, but I just prefer IE. My brother uses FF.

I think Firefox is like, more better, eh! [img]smile.gif[/img]

What's the extension on the picture file?

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood · 09-12-2006, 11:34 AM

I'm not sure. That's why I right clicked it to get properties, but it doesn't come up.

Does a View/Source give you the extension?
