Pat - another option to that suggested by Akhil. My situation is the one Akhil described - I have selected "Never load images" in my preferences. In this way I generally get the boxes you described, with the little red cross in the corner. This is how I want my email presented.
Whenever I decide I want to see the image, I go to View -> Load images. This way, on a case-by-case basis, I can decide whether I want to see the images or not. Akhil's method will always present the images to you; this method allows you to choose which you see and which you don't - your choice. If you opt for the case-by-case method, Ctrl+I is the keyboard shortcut for displaying the image.
