Thanks Daniel.  

The images are linked (not embedded) - my mistake, and ctrl-I did work
to display them.  I wasn't aware of the spammer issue though, but then I
don't normally view an email (even in the preview pane) unless I'm sure
of the source. 

Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it. -Pat
