The problem could be either on the sender's end or recipient's end.

Text is selected, then attached images are not automatically displayed
at the bottom of the message. For a quick workaround for the current

- There's a bug in a recent update to OE where if an HTML message uses
the same image multiple time, only the first occurrence will display.
This is a problem on the sender's end where OE generates bad HTML links.
- Another possible cause of problems is a corrupted cache. Try clearing
it.

Files
Temporary Internet Files Use More Disk Space Than Specified
