Dear gls858,
Under options, security, I unchecked "Block images and other content in HTML email. Was that the right thing to do?

Can you view them now? This setting may be the problem but,
it sounds like the attachment is opening. So it's not being blocked.
I was going from memory on the setting as I don't use OE. When I checked I see that the setting is for SENDING not receiving e-mail. Sorry for the confusion.
I couldn't find any setting that specifically allows HTML viewing. I
suppose this setting could be the problem but be aware that unchecking this
does present a security risk.
