I Must Have Deleted Something From My Programmes
4 Answers
Just lately I've not been able to open some of my e-mails, it has just shown a box with a picture in it or a red cross. As you can tell I'm still not technically adept with this laptop. Can you help.

You can not open them at all, or they open and only show this picture/red X ? Some (dodgy ?) commercial companies send emails consisting of a picture.
Have you spoken to the sender ? Not spam is it ?
What if you forward it to someone else's e-mail, can they read it ?

They appear as a small box with what looks like a picture in the box as I open the e-mail, some have a red cross. In fact the newsletter from answerbank had the same thing but I scrolled further down and actually got the messages from them. The e-mails have been sent from companies giving quotes for insurance, that I've been comparing. Another was an attachment from an estate agent. Thanks for your response OG. The ones with a red cross won't open at all.
It may be that something is set to block pictures because if the picture data has to be downloaded then it gives a clue your e-mail address is used; and that can be valuable information to spammers wishing to bombard your account.
Could be the e-mail you are getting is fairly "legit" advertising, but it doesn't sound as if you are missing much by not seeing them.
