unable to display pictures in e-mail

For some reason, when I forward e-mails that have internet pictures in them to my home computer, they just have the red X in the corner. I right click on the X to open pic, but it still does not work. I looked at my firewall options for extentions that are blocked, but the only ones I recognize are .com and .exe files. I assume that means that .gif and .jpg are allowed to show up. Does anyone know what setting I can fix to allow those pictures to come through? I use WinXP operating system, and have EZ Firewall. I don't even know if it IS my firewall blocking them or not, but if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks all! Sue R

    There is some info here but it pertains to Internet Explorer... it might not apply to you.
     
    Tons of info on a google search for "no photo red x" or similar wording.   Seems to be a common issue.

    Sue,
    Be helpful if you told us what browser you're using. ;)

    Wow.....sorry all...I guess the answer to those questions are very important! At work where I am sending the emails out, I am using IE version 6, Windows 2000 and Microsoft Outlook 2003. At home where I am receiving the emails, I have IE 7, Windows XP, and I use Yahoo for email. One interesting point is, I can access my work at home email via Outlook Web Access, and even though I can see the pics when I am at work, I cannot see them on my computer at home, so something must be blocking them from showing up.
    I viewed the link in the last post and one of the resolutions is by right clicking on the X to display properties. I tried that and the file type is unknown.
