A friend sent me an email with pictures but they dont show up.
All that is showing up is a square box with a square red box in it and a round green circle,and blue triangle.What do I need to open this.

What email clients are you both using? Are the files sent as attachments, or did your friend send you an html email with content that you're unable to view?

What happens if you right-click on the graphic?

Yahoo mail,content that I am unable to view.
I right click and hit open nothing happens.
I even tried sendin it to my pictures.
What ever type of file it is every time I receive a file like this I cannot open it.
I am wondering if I need some sort of program like example I have PPV to open some file,Foxit reader for other types of files.

So this image is in the email body itself, and not an attachment? What if you right-click and do a save as? Does it give a file extension? If so, what is it?

So show picture fails as well? Again I ask, what is the file extension? Are you using Yahoo Mail Classic? Can you successfully view the attachments if they are sent to another email account/client?
