My system is squeeze. For years I have used the iceape mail which

in the linked url sites, not even some utube videos. This problem has
gotten worse since squeeze became stable. A partial solution is to
install google chrome, copy the links in the emails (iceape mail has a
copy link option) to google chrome and watch the image there.

You mean Iceape browser is not displaying images nor flash player videos
at all? For this problem, I would take a look into this KB:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load

I checked out this reference too. The iceape settings are as
recommended except that one setting regarding navigation does not exist
in the iceape preferences. The reference also notes that flash problems
are discussed in a separate article Video_or_audio_does_not_play. This
page is blank.

I believe the flash plugin is the problem. I started using the Google
Chrome browser because it included the latest version of flash.
Checking the plugins in iceape I found three versions of Shockwave Flash
installed, each in a different directory:


dragon:~# ll /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 125816 Sep 29 13:50 /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

dragon:~# ll /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 275072 Sep 12 2010 /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so

dragon:~# ll /home/tom/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 10606256 Mar 11 2011 /home/tom/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

The September 29 date is consistent with the start of iceape browser
becoming very sluggish with messages about problems reading scripts. I
run dist-upgrade from time to time so an update may have been run at
that time.


I have never experienced such issues in Firefox but I have installed the
latest version available from Mozilla :-?

Lately I have received emails with included images with no links and
iceape mail is unable to display the email images.

Didier already sent you another KB for this problem but I would also
review the raw code for the message, just to discard the MIME part it is
bad encoded or has any problem.

What to do? I have tried to install other email clients - evolution and
balsa - but am having trouble setting up the server links (iceape
provides a much more detailed server link setup) so I don't know if
these email clients could display the email image contents.

But of course :-)

Any hmtl cabaple e-mail reader should be able to display embedded images
when reading e-mails (for instance, Thunderbird -cousin of Iceape- it
does) and I would also expect that Iceape is able to do it.
