Little Red Dots
 

I have a problem with some emails showing little red dots in the upper
left hand corner of some graphics instead of the actual graphic. Is this
because the original email was composed in HTML but sent to me in plain
text? I want to see if I understand this correctly.

Graphics blocked in your email program?

I doubt it.

Try looking at the headers and/or 'source' of the message.

It's possible that your email program (or something) is protecting you from
potentially dangerous 'links' to 'remote' web pages or images.

Nope. I've checked everything and I don't see anything that would
prevent the graphics from showing.

I've already checked the source and I can't see anything there that
would cause this.

Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.7

Re: Little Red Dots
 

If the message was sent to you in plain text any graphics or anything
HTML will not show up.
What do the red dots look like? Does it look like a picture
placeholder when the images are not shown?

also, have you checked your extensions for updates? I have some
extensions that affect images in email.
