What browser are you using? Does it possibly have a setting to control
image display? Perhaps of certain types of images, based on extension?
Do the images that don't display have anything in common, that can be
distinguished from the images that do?

I'm mostly a Gmail user. Some emails with images display as soon as I
open the mail, others are hidden until I click on "Display external
images", and others won't display no way, no how. I haven't yet
determined what the difference is.

You could try forwarding one to me, and I'll try it out. I use Gmail
and Firefox, fwiw.
