Vista - Thumbnails in WLM appear as icons only

Hello -- I have cleared the "Always show icons. never thumbnails" box on View
Folders, I am signed in to WLM, and yet when I send a photo email, the photos
appear as embedded low-res images, not thumbnails that can be clicked
through. I am baffled. Any help deeply appreciated!

There are no thumbnails in e-mail.

The images show in the body of the message if you
have "Read all messages in plain text" unchecked at...
Tools / Options / Read tab.

If you do not want to see the photos in the body of the
message... check the "Read all messages in plain text"
box and the photos will be attachments only.

Thanks so much for the reply. That makes sense. But when I create the email
message, the popup message from WLM says "With photo email, you upload
high-res photos to the Web but send small thumbnails in your message.
Recipients receive smaller messages and view your photos in an online
slideshow. They can also download the high-res photos that they want."

OK, so this makes me think the thumbnails should be clickable. If they're
not, that's OK, but where are these photos stored and how exactly do my
recipients get to see this slideshow?

Does it say Sign in under the Close X?

Thank you, Ron. That explains it!

Ron, if I'm not mistaken, it's only the Hotmail photo upload tool
that's been disabled (because of an IE vulnerability). I don't think
the photo e-mail feature in WLMail is affected.

Noel,
That's how I understand it, but based on sporadic results(good and bad) lately, with different Live ID's in WLM using/testing
Photo Email, the temporary disabling of the Hotmail Photo upload is an easy thing to blame, right or wrong. I wish we had more
concrete information.

"Adding photos to Hotmail messages – a temporary change
Some of you may have noticed that lately, you can no longer add photos
directly into the body of a Windows Live Hotmail message the way you used to
do. The Windows Live team is constantly reviewing Hotmail to ensure quality
service to our customers. During a recent review, we identified an
incompatibility with Internet Explorer that raised a potential security
concern with photo uploads, and we made the decision to temporarily remove
the feature.

The Hotmail team takes security very seriously and we expect to bring back
the photo upload feature by the end of September. In the meantime, you can
still add pictures as attachments to your Hotmail messages, by clicking
Attach, and then File, and then selecting the picture you want to include.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you until this fix is
complete.

The Windows Live team "
