I can save messages as .eml or .htm. But in both cases I get the letter without the graphics integrated. When you save as .htm, you could try looking for graphics image URL links in the file. Load the .htm file with Wordpad and have a look. As Winston said, Outlook Express was bundled with IE and uses IE HTML engine files for rendering. And it's likely to use IE security rules as a result. Graphics could be stored as multi-part attachments, but the "modern way" is to steal your pictures and store them on the mail server, then re-write the mail to use a URL to point to your stolen picture. If I wanted to make sure a family member received a picture properly, I'd probably have to compress it, encrypt it, and send it as an attachment or something. Just to "keep web monkeys out of my stuff" :-) Paul |

IE has always been an integral part of Windows; that was a major part of the Department of Justice lawsuit against Microsoft a decade or more. So far as I can recall, IE has never been available as a stand-alone produce. OE was also bundled with Windows until OE6 in WinXP. Not quite correct. OE was never available as a separate product. OE was not bundled with Windows. OE was always bundled with IE. OE (whose support ended in 2002) ceased to be bundled with IE as of IE version 7 (released in 2006) and why there is no later version of OE after its version 6. As I recall, the IE bundle has always been available as a standalone. Many users, especially admins or IT folks at a business, wanted a separate and self-contained installer for IE to perform an offline install of IE. Most end users acquired newer versions of IE through Windows Updates. You didn't get the network version in Windows Updates. You had to go look for it at Microsoft's download site. For example, the 53.3 MB x64 edition of IE 11 can be downloaded from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...7-details.aspx Windows comes with a pre-installed base version of IE (which stopped bundling OE as of IE7). Obviously you don't have to download that version but you can use either Windows Updates or separately obtain an offline installer for later versions of IE. and uses IE HTML engine files for rendering. And it's likely to use IE security rules as a result. OE and much of Windows does use some of IE. As a non-techie, I don't know the details. But, for example we've always had to use IE's settings to adjust OE's printer output. Winston can explain all this better than I can. He did say, "Windows Mail uses IE's common files/dlls to display html content." OE used the IE libs to render HTML up until installation of the Windows XP service pack 2 (c. 2006). Instead of using an IE control, OE was switched to using a RichEdit control (riched32.dll). That DLL has been around since Windows 95 (since MS KB218838 says so) so it looks like OE was modified to switch to use it for HTML rendering. It was included with Windows as some function library that any program could use. While OE was switched to using it, other programs could also use it, like CuteFTP (back then, don't know what it uses now) and Individual Software's Resume Maker Deluxe, Macromedia's Drumbeat, and IBM's SPSS. For an explanation of what the riched32.dll (RichEdit) control is for, see http://dll.paretologic.com/detail.php/riched32. Like other run-time libraries (e.g., C), some programs might include the files they need for support in case they are missing in the OS or the program knows it works with a specific version. Programs replacing these run-times with older or later versions than already present could screw up other programs using the same run-times. In 9x-based Windows, it was called "DLL Hell" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLL_Hell) but also applied to any program that didn't test the existing run-time libs and simply stepped on them. Microsoft's KB197580 also discusses how redistributing the wrong riched32.dll file could cause problems. Programs could compile by rolling in the ancilliary support files into the .exe but that makes from one big executable file, so they rely on the existing or carrying along of the separate files. That reliance can be corrupted. For example, programs written in Visual Basic would experience different behaviors on graphical elements depending on whether v4 of v5 of riched32.dll was present. Switching to and even upping the version of riched32.dll had some unwanted side effects. For example, the OE-QuoteFix add-on would no longer function if the user configured OE to show all messages in plain text format. Another change of applying WinXP SP-2 was OE would, by default, block automatic downloads of external content (i.e., linked images). That meant the colorization features of OE-QuoteFix would not work. You had to lower security in OE to get OE-QuoteFix's coloring to work. That is, you had to allow external content, like web bugs/beacons, to get OE-QuoteFix to colorize each indentation level of quoted content. Switching to the RichEdit control causes several problems. OE-QuoteFix was never updated (it was abandoned) since its last release in 2003, so it would never support the change from IE to RichEdit in OE. Users complained of error messages that riched32.dll wouldn't load. Microsoft had discontinued support of OE. They weren't going to bother with compatibility in later versions of IE to accomodate the dead OE. So they severed reliance of OE on an IE's libs. |

Reasonably accurate. Not all versions of IE when installed on certain o/s updated OE, necessitating removing the then current version of IE then ensuring that the latest o/s service pack was installed with subsequent installation of the current existing installed IE version service pack and finally, then and only then, installing the latest available IE versions. Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail continue to use IE code to support html rendering in email and news messages as well as for printing. While Windows Mail was never updated to accomodate later versions of IE, WLM was and in fact even a few IE cumulative updates performed under-the-hood updates to WLM files to ensure compatibility for rendering html messages and printing and also to ensure rendering of Html wasn't broken in WLM for subsequent IE cumulative and version updates. Some of those under-the-hood updates were also applicable to html rendering in Windows Live Writer blogging client. One of the more notable issues (which some WLM users may recall) was the phantom insertion of a '?' in html messages caused by an IE cum update, a few other issues were also only central to location (language) specific versions of WLM....in both cases under-the-hood updates were included in IE cumulative, security, and even a Windows non-security based reliability update. With the advent of Windows 8, and WLM now legacy ware specific versions of IE (latest available for a given o/s) are necessary to ensure html rendering and printing is handled properly. As far as Windows Mail, since it is limited to IE10 and WM's development ceased about the same time as OE was dropped....running WM on Vista (or even the unsupported transporting to Win7) and issues with WM related to IE will never be resolved....but even though WLM is now legacy ware it continues to hold some precedence for patching (via WLM QFE[extremely rare since the last WLM QFE] or under-the-hood IE11 cum updates or even Windows 7/8x non-security updates) since WLM continues to support html as a viewing/composition option for MSFT accounts using the DeltaSync protocol an integration with other Windows Essential (PhotoGallery/Movie Maker -nonLive branded products which also use IE files). As far as the op...if resetting IE10 to its defaults or repairing Windows Mail (a method is/was available by searching on the net) doesn't resolve the problem then it may be a SOL end-result. -- ....winston msft mvp consumer apps |

| OE, WM, WLM all versions ever released use IE for html rendering in | email and newsgroup messages. WM may. I don't have a copy to see. Later versions of OE don't, as VanguardLH explained more fully than I did. You can confirm that with a program like Spy++ or similar. There's no browser window in my OE window hierarchy. There is a richedit window. (If IE is doing the rendering there will be a window of class "Internet Explorer_Server".) It's a confusing issue. First there's the issue of whether IE is actually rendering the email. If it is, then there was the question of whether different versions of IE would render differently. That *probably* doesn't apply because according to IE rules most or all email would be rendered in quirks mode, to match IE6 rendering. (Since the OP never posted the email content we can't be sure about that issue.) That leaves security settings. Again, it's not clear how much of the security settings from IE apply to WM. In my OE6 it has its own setting for whether to show remote images. (I have it set to not display HTML at all. I only see the text version of HTML emails.) As far as I can tell the option to use IE restricted zone rather than internet zone seems to apply to script, activex, etc. So.... IE version and settings *probably* have no affect on email rendering but it would need to be tested to be sure about whether perhaps 1) WM shares image settings with IE or 2) the particular email in question has been coded to render in standards mode and is therefore subject to Microsoft's design whims, which render each version of IE incompatible with whatever came before and could, possibly, affect image rendering in some cases. If I had to guess, I'd guess the problem was likely to be funky/wrong internal MIME format that renders differently in different software. |

However, there are (other) messages which do display with graphics on notebook. That's what makes it poroblematic to analyse the cause. I want to read the newsletter with graphics on my notebook too. Any hints on this are welcome. [] My first guess was that the ones displaying correctly were using images included in the email and the others using links, with the laptop either not permanently online (unlikely as it's receiving emails and LR hasn't said it isn't online), or set slightly differently not to _display_ online images. But this seems not to be the case - see subsequent post.

So at least that's one possible source of the problem eliminated: IME, the "cid:" form always refers to an image later in the email, not an online one. It _might_ be useful to see one of the emails that _does_ render OK on both machines. (As an aside, what possible purpose does 'alt=""' serve? I have an interest in accessibility matters, and my blind friends find places that supply a text alternative for images [that's what "alt" is about] quite useful; however, if it's going to be a null string, I see no point in including it at all. The only possible reason I can think of for it being there is a brain-dead automatic code generator that thinks all images _have_ to have an alt= tag [and probably many other similar wastes of bandwidth].) -- J.

IE didn't always come with Windows: I can't remember whether it was
Windows 95 or 98 (or 98SE) that first included it. Windows 3.1 certainly didn't - and in those dim past days, IE _was_ available as a standalone download, just as Mozilla - later Netscape - was (initially not free, though I think IE always was; it certainly was free before Netscape was, which in large part did for the latter, except among enthusiasts and Microsoft-haters (who were still using Windows). [The 'net connection socket wasn't included either; the commonest one was Trumpet Winsock, IIRR from somewhere Australian (at a guess, from Trumpet?). You needed that for anything - ping, email, FTP - to work, not just browsers.] -- J. P. Gilliver.

"Mayayana" schreef in bericht ... | OE, WM, WLM all versions ever released use IE for html rendering in | email and newsgroup messages. WM may. I don't have a copy to see. Later versions of OE don't, as VanguardLH explained more fully than I did. You can confirm that with a program like Spy++ or similar. There's no browser window in my OE window hierarchy. There is a richedit window. (If IE is doing the rendering there will be a window of class "Internet Explorer_Server".) It's a confusing issue. First there's the issue of whether IE is actually rendering the email. If it is, then there was the question of whether different versions of IE would render differently. That *probably* doesn't apply because according to IE rules most or all email would be rendered in quirks mode, to match IE6 rendering. (Since the OP never posted the email content we can't be sure about that issue.) That leaves security settings. Again, it's not clear how much of the security settings from IE apply to WM. In my OE6 it has its own setting for whether to show remote images. (I have it set to not display HTML at all. I only see the text version of HTML emails.) As far as I can tell the option to use IE restricted zone rather than internet zone seems to apply to script, activex, etc. So.... IE version and settings *probably* have no affect on email rendering but it would need to be tested to be sure about whether perhaps 1) WM shares image settings with IE or 2) the particular email in question has been coded to render in standards mode and is therefore subject to Microsoft's design whims, which render each version of IE incompatible with whatever came before and could, possibly, affect image rendering in some cases. If I had to guess, I'd guess the problem was likely to be funky/wrong internal MIME format that renders differently in different software. OK, I have MSIE 9 on Vista. I have attached the newsletter saved as .eml and .htm format. Note that other messages do display graphics. As you said: It's a confusing issue... Because the attachments are refused by the news server, I'll try pasting the contents: saved as .htm: snipped OK, I loaded that into Seamonkey "Composer" window. The images are using cid: formulation. http://oi60.tinypic.com/2hfur9y.jpg Which is mentioned here. http://www.systemnetmail.com/faq/4.4.aspx "For the "src" value, you need to point it at the Content-Id of the LinkedResource image. This is done by using the syntax img src="cid:whatever" The "src=cid:" part is required for the email client to recognize the img tag as an embedded image, while the "whatever" part is the actual Content-Id of the LinkedResource image. This will instruct the mail client to find an embedded image named "whatever" and display the contents *without* making a http:// request. " Open the email site again, only this time use Firefox. When the page appears, do a "Save Page As" "Web Page, Complete". This will save the .htm file, as before, but will also generate a folder of the same name, containing all the resources the .htm file uses. Inside there, may be the raw cid: resources. They could be stored as files, perhaps with filenames similar to the cid: value or something. The original email might have been MIME, and then converted to those cid: things ? By saving the .htm, you're not really gaining access to your email in its "raw" form. The original mail would have been multi-part MIME, with elements of the message that were to be delivered inline, given their own section in the message. It's also possible the email was crafted as HTML by the author, but then it would end up delivered as MIME, with separate sections for an HTML version and a Text version, for clients that don't have HTML capabilities. It's just a suspicion on my part, that a lot of processing has happened here. Paul |
