Word just in from Phil at Feedblitz, the software program I use to send daily and weekly BargainBabe.com emails. Images may not be showing up if you opted to receive (or it somehow got changed) a text version of the BB email:
Either they changed their account to be text only or their email app has chosen to display text instead of HTML.
The subscriber can log into feedblitz and make sure they have HTML selected as their format preference at My Account | Profile
To recap, here is what you need to do:
I'm getting frustrated with this image problem. Are you?
I’ve run a diagnostic test of the daily BargainBabe.com email and images and text appear normal in AOL, Gmail, and Outlook 2003 (the only three programs I was able to test). To further diagnose this problem, I need more specific info from you. Please leave a comment with this info.
1. Are you having trouble seeing images in other emails? Or just BargainBabe.com emails?
2. When did the images STOP appearing? Are the images consistently not there, or is it a mix of some images and some text?
3. Instead of an image, are you seeing a complete blank? Or is some text showing up along the lines of:
lemonpasta 300x200 Lemony pasta recipe
If some text is showing up, the problem is probably on your end.
4. If no text at all is showing up, what email program do you use? Examples include Hotmail, Yahoo, Lotus Notes, Mac Mail, Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Windows Mail, Entourage, Live Mail, or on a particular mobile device.
5. Are you seeing garbled text? What does it look like? Are you seeing special characters that you almost never see? Or is normal text overlapping with other text?
Thanks for being as specific as possible so we can root out this problem and fix it!
And thank you for your patience.

Thought we had resolved the problem with images not showing up in the daily BargainBabe.com email, but alas two readers commented very recently that they still cannot see the images. Drat!
Can you see images in your daily email? If not, is there a link at the top of your BargainBabe.com email that says “display images from this sender”?
Thanks for the feedback. It’ll help me know how widespreaad this problem is.
