Thank you all for your responses. I need to clarify the problem a bit further I think as it sounds like some of you don't have this problem I may need to tweak some settings When She receives an HTML mail I have the viewer set to display the HTMl therefore any fancy fonts and background appear fine within the bat. The problem seems to be when there are gif's embedded in the e-mail. these appear as attachments on the left of the viewer and as individual tabs at the bottom of the mail but she is unable to see them all on one screen (i.e with the animated frog next to the joke about the frog) If she double clicks the HTML message to open it in her browser (IE I'm afraid, I'll work on switching her to Opera once we've bedded the Bat in) The message displays again with font/background in IE but still no dancing frogs just boxes with little crosses in Are there some settings in the Bat that I can change to give her what she wants. These are not the linked images that you get in some corporate HTML mails but stand alone gifs. I am always on at her about the risks of these e-mails and the benefits of plain text but just as was stated in the incredimail thread she likes her computer to be entertaining. (To avoid any confusion and further comparisons to the incredimail thread my Mother and I do not share a computer.
