Re: Outlook Express won't forward

I chose a picture under Documents & Settings on the hard drive. Sent it to
me. Came in just fine. Forwarded it to myself & other user and it went
through just fine without any problem.

I sent myself a clean graphics page from the web, then try to forward it on
to myself and the other user. Got the usual 'picture will not show up.'

The e-mail that you sent yourself *did* have a graphic included, correct?
But it wouldn't forward to yourself after that?

------------When I created and e-mail and sent it to me everything
was
fine. Anything that is text will go without any problems and is not a
forward with pictures or graphics in it.

Leave AVG running, but do turn of the e-mail scanning. Sometimes this

I use AVG and have had e-mail scanning turned of since day one. Should
you
feel apprehensive about this:

This is from Symantec, but applies to all anti-virus programs.

From:
http://snipurl.com/bmf6

Is my computer still protected against viruses if I disable Email
Scanning?

Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against
viruses
that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect
scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email
and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of
this.
To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you
have
the most recent virus definitions.

Now, you did say that when you created an e-mail and sent it to
yourself
you
got the message on the original send and not even a forward? If
nothing
previously suggested helps, then let's try a new Outbox and Sent Items
folder.

Do the following for the Outbox, and if the problem persists, repeat
for
Sent Items after you move any messages you wish to save to a local
folder
you create.

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location
of
your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put
the
location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise,
write
the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In Windows XP, 2K & 3K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must
enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder
Options |
View.

With OE closed, find the DBX file for the folder in question
{Outbox.dbx}
and delete it. A new one will be created automatically when you open
OE.

General precautions for Outlook Express:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and
move
your
mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created
folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually
while
working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders
are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything
until
the compacting is completed.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer
of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems
such
as
time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program
will
continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in
background
and
leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.

This is a home computer with one other person..
I have AVG and I did the test the other day with my e-mail turned
off
and
it
didn't do one bit of good..................What is so frustrating is
that
I
have taken pains over the past nine years to learn everything that I
can
and
to continue studying and learning. This is the first time that I
have
had
something that I could not do myself. The other user of this
computer
doesn't
even try to correct things and relies strictly on me.
Do you suggest that I do go on and disable the email scanner on the
computer? I am with Charter Cable and they have absolutely nothing
that
protects you from receiving viruses or spam. Wish that I still had
Cox
Cable.

You

Are you scanning e-mail? Turn it off. It adds no extra protection
and
could
be the cause.

This isn't a networked computer at your job per chance?

problem. Would something like that affect both of us?

I have sent things to myself and that box pops up every time
and
when
it
gets
to me, there are no pictures, only the little box with a red
X.
Whenever
I
send out anything that has cartoon, picture, web page that
I've
sent
to
me
that has pictures, etc., I have to 'forward as attachment' if
I
want
others
to see it. I have never, ever had this problem before until
a
couple
of
weeks agao. Many recipients are very hesitant in receiving a
'forward
as
attachment' and I don't blame them. I am also. My virus
program
scans
&
updates every day and I always check for spam.
All I want is to be able to clean up and forward things the
way I
have
been
doing it for years. Have no idea what to do next, so any help
is
very
appreciated.

Pay
no attention to her.

If you create your own message and Insert a picture and send
it
to
yourself,
does that work OK? If so, try to Forward that to yourself and
see
if
it
still works.

If your problem only happens sometimes, it may be the senders
e-mail
client,
or how they are inserting the pictures.

Try a test to yourself and also note what shows in Sent
Items.
If a
picture
is there, then it was received by your ISP intact.
