Some emails display images as http address

Question

I have a new Macbook Air. I get regular emails from eBay, etc and they contain images. Lately some emails, not all, do not display the images. Instead there is an HTTP address that if I open takes me to the images in Safari. I have all the settings to display HTM images.If I check the same email message on my iPad or iPhone it does show the images. The problem is only on the MacBook Air. Any thought on fixing this??

This seems a rather minor problem to me, but if you really want to pursue it, you can try the following.
Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
