This would be expected.  If the original HTML code has not been modified,
the images will not be correctly displayed unless two conditions are met:
1. the recipient needs to remain online, and
2. the original locations of the images are still "active".
[This is a generalization.  Outlook Express and other e-mail clients will
accept and display HTML messages.]
That being said, a web page may be displayed properly if you edit the HTML
image source tags in the document and your recipient is instructed to save
the HTML document and the image files in the same directory/folder.  Before
you send the HTML page, change the <IMG SRC=????> tags
to read <IMG SRC="[image filename.jpg or .gif]">
in_the_original_HTML_page_you_are_sending. If both the HTML page and the
images are stored in the same directory/folder, it should display properly
when your recipient opens it in a browser.  The IMG SRC tag tells the
browser the location and the file name of the image to display.  If the
image file is in the same directory/folder as the HTML file which calls it,
the full path to the image file does not have to appear in the IMG SRC tag.
