Computer question: Photos on ebay emails

Suddenly, the photos I receive on daily updates from ebay are showing up as tiny icons. See screen shot. I use Outlook to assemble my emails and am using Windows 10. If I go directly to Comcast, the emails and photos are fine. Any of you computer whizzes know what's wrong with Outlook. BTW, all other photos come through fine.

I neglected to attach the screen shot. You can see the little icon just below and left of the "see all results" highlighted in blue.

What does "if I go directly to Comcast" mean?

Maybe a setting in your email client?

I can log into my email account on the comcast website but prefer to use Outlook for its compatibility with Word and Excell. Moreover, my wife is usually logged into Comcast for her email that doesn't allow two to be logged in at the same time. Mainly, it removes that hassle.

Interesting.
I'm logged into the Comcast client on my laptop, and I'll go to the desktop in the office and log in without a problem. I'll log out on the desktop and still be logged in on the laptop.
Never skips a beat.

If I want something in an email to go into Excel or Word, I just copy & paste it.

Maybe a recent update for Outlook?
Different email clients do things differently.

You can thank Microsoft for that. They are limiting images in outlook for security.

My Comcast client blocks ALL images in an email and provides a button to "Show Images", very handy.
It also cuts down on their bandwidth by not sending the images.
