Outlook 2019 - issue with pictures in emails (some newsletters)

I found a very strange issue in Outlook 2019. Some newsletters which I get don't show pictures, for example from Aliexpress. I tried to resolve this issue using all informations which are available in the internet, unfortunately without success. I found that when Outlook receives this email, saves pictures in temp folder with WPD extension not JPG. I add an attachment how it looks like in temp folder. ![75117-outlook-1.jpg][1] I can open this email in web browser - directly from Outlook in the Internet Explorer and there this email look fine with all pictures. I have got the newest version of Outlook 2019: 1808 (10371.20060) I have make some tests with previous version of Outlook and found that the version from march 10 2020 - 1808(10357.20081) works fine and pictures in emails are showing correctly. I tested this version of Outlook under Windows 10 on two different PC, the same problem. Any suggestions? [1]: /answers/storage/attachments/75117-outlook-1.jpg

Hi @Tomek-7778,

Does this issue only happen to the pictures in newsletters emails? Can those pictures sent from other users be displayed normally?

As I know, in Outlook, we can control whether Outlook automatically downloads and displays pictures when you open an HTML email message. Please try to uncheck the options like below and restart your Outlook to see if the issue has any difference.

Yes, I have this option unchecked in Outlook's stettings.
99% of emails with pictures look good and all pictures in emails/newsletters are showing correctly.
I have problem with newsletter from Aliexpress, Gearbest and UPS only.
As I mentioned, pictures from these newsletters are saved as WDP file in TIF folder instead of JPG.
You can see it on picture which I attached in my first post.

Hi @Tomek-7778,

Thanks for your reply.

Tried some research but have not found much useful information about the Plik WDP file type you mentioned.

According to your description, seems this issue might be a version-related issue though it could work fine for all other newsletter images. I noticed that Outlook 2019 has a newer version (Version 1808 Build 10372.20060) now, it is suggested for you to upgrade your Outlook to the latest version and see if there is any difference.

By the way, have you tried some other tests about this issue? For example, it is suggested to start your Outlook in safe mode (Press Win + R, type “outlook /safe”, press Enter.) and see if the issue continues. Also, you could try to forward this message and edit this email message in the HTML format to see if you could see those images.

If you have any update about this issue, please feel free to post back.

I have updated Outlook to the newest version, unfortunately without success, the same situation.
I can't see pictures in some newsletters.
I tested all options which I can found in the internet regarding to the showing pictures in emails.

I checked that when I try to forward this newsletter, still can't see pictures.
I found a strange situation, when I clik forward email I can save it in draft folder.
When I check this email saved in draft folder, the all images are showing correctly.
I moved it to the inbox folder, can still see all pictures but when I sent this email I check in outbox folder...
there I can't see pictures...
About WDP files. I don't know why and what for Windows 10 or Outlook convert JPG files to the WDP files while is receiving this email...
I want to share some informations about Outlook 2019 which is one of the aplication of Office 2019 Pro Plus.
Office 2019 Pro Plus comes in two versions:
1. Volume licenced version of Office 2019 - the newest version (1808 build 10372.20060)
2. Retail version of Office 2019 C2R - the newest version (2102 build 13801.20294)
I had a possibility and checked these problematic emails in Outlook 2019 from retail version of Office 2019, there these emails look
fine and all pictures are showing correctly.
So... any ideas?

Hi @Tomek-7778,

Thanks for your detailed update here.

Do sounds weird, When I check this email saved in draft folder, the all images are showing correctly. I moved it to the inbox folder, can still see all pictures but when I sent this email I check in outbox folder. There I can't see pictures. Tried a lot of search but have not got any similar issues.

I noticed that you mentioned the same email can work fine in Retail version of Office 2019 C2R while have issues in Volume licensed version of Office 2019. Since I do not have the same newsletters emails as yours, I could not do the same tests in my Outlook to reproduce your issue. According to your description, Outlook versions might indeed one of the possible causes. However, strictly, we could not completely rule out whether it is any specific windows settings that causes the Volume licensed client issue. If possible, maybe you could try to check the same email image on other Volume licensed version of Office 2019 on other devices and see if there is any difference.

By the way, considering we have already tried so much settings and have not found much more helpful information yet, as a temporary workaround, maybe you could try to revert to an earlier version of Office. I would keep trying to do more researches about your issue, if I got any updates, I would post back here.

Thanks for your understanding and support.

It's really weird...
I tested these newsletter emails on other PC with the same version of Outlook 2019 (volume licensed), the same problem, can't see images in email.
As I mentioned in my first post, I tested on the earlier version of Outlook 2019 - from march 10 2020 - 1808(10357.20081).
With this version all newsletters emails look fine.
If You could give me your email address, I can send you one of that email... then You could see it?

I have the same Outlook 2019 issue you describe...any email that contains an image that is a ".wdp" file will not show in the email message. In it's place is the placeholder with the little red x and the message that "The linked image cannot be displayed...". However if I forward the message and save the draft, when I veiw the draft message it has ALL the images showing.

I've tried all the recommended steps and registry settings...no change. The ".wdp" files do download into the cache folders, but for whatever reason they just will not display in the inbox message.

Wonder if you found a fix/resolution? thx
