I have had this happen..just today as a matter of fact..on an email I sent out....I am not sure why it happened..but... what I did.. was I opened psp.. and the pic..and saved it ... again.. and it was fine. There is a possibility there was an extra . in the name, or a space with an invisible character... or for a real technical explanation..it had a fart crosswise....lol! In any case.. doing this has always solved the problem for me....(that is...IF the pic still exists when the email goes out AND it is still is filed in the same place it was filed when the email was done.

He has his own part religious/part humerous group ..he sends graphics etc several times a week to a group of about 100 people(I just joined his little group); several of his sends show the white square box w/the red X in it instead of the picture. He asked me for help in finding out why this is happening. The only time I've ever had it happen to me is when the name of the picture I'm receiving or sending has the #'s 20% in it somewhere...and this is what I replied to him. BUT.. he says his gifs, jpgs, etc do not have "20%" in the line...so, what I am asking is this: Anyone here know WHY this is happening, and HOW to make it stop?
