Under the Sea
sometimes when i check my hotmail all the pictures in my
email dont load, they just show up as a "?" in a little blue box.

i then have to quit safari and reopen, type in my password and open the
email again too make the pictures load up so i can see them.

but if i leave that message to check another message... i have to start all over again... those little darn "?" boxes come up again....

whats going on here??? it only happens sometimes... and its So Annoying.
i just noticed that this isnt a Mac/hotmail problem cuz this just happend to
me at work(PC) the other day.
 
Have you tried clearing the Safari cache? Safari -> Empty Cache...

Or you can try Safari -> Reset Safari..., which will clear out saved form passwords, history, cache, etc.

You should also confirm if this happens in other browsers if possible.

Sounds like Hotmail just has the security setting activated for your account that does not automatically load images.

At the top of the message does a yellow bar show saying "Unknown Sender Report & Delete | Allow sender "? If so there should be a link below that says Allow Pictures. Click that and it should show the pictures.

To always display pictures inline from that particular sender click the Allow Sender link.
