I think you're chasing a red herring here. Old

I'm not a fisherman.

versions of IE don't handle PNG, but the issue,
as I understood it, was with no images showing
in one version of WM and all images showing in
the other. Most of the images in the email are
not PNG.

The same e-mail does show up in WM on Windows 7, and does not show up in
(the same) WM on Vista.


Also, while the fix for Vista looks interesting,
according to your link it's for fixing Registry
settings damaged by 3rd-party software. I
doubt very much that IE7/WM/Vista doesn't
have native support for PNG.


In Vista I have MSIE 9 and it does show the letter OK.

To recap from my prior post, just HOW are the images carried along with
the e-mail? Are they shown in a MIME part with attach=inline or
attach=attachment? Are they HTML I image tags pointing to external
content?

Presumably the newsletter does not use scripts (which the vast majority
of e-mail clients will ignore). Scripts will work inside a web browser
but not inside an e-mail client. E-mail clients aren't meant nor
designed to be web browser equivalents. Even when Microsoft clients use
the IE libraries to render HTML content, they don't run scripts in the
messages. Some clients can be configured to allow scripts within
e-mails (a very bad practice because of security concerns), like letting
the client render an e-mail under the Internet security zone instead of
the default Restricted Sites security zone. Too many newsletter,
templated messages, and bulk mails are formatted using HTML that is
appropriate within a web browser but are limited within the confines of
the rendering allowed in an e-mail client.

Since this is a newletter that isn't sent to you alone, I doubt its
contents are considered personally sensitive to you. Instead of
guessing what is in the e-mail and why the e-mail client won't handle
it, copy its raw source and post it here for others to analyze. I
suspect either externally linked images or scripting is at fault.
