Yes, correct, that the code runs in Internet Explorer and does not run the graphics in Outlook Express, the email client. This is not my code but was written by kurt grigg. He hasn't responded to an email, so I posed my question here. I will post the script here, if that helps at all.
If necessary, I can contact Microsoft, thank you for that suggestion.
