    If the Pop-up Blocker in your IE6 Tools section doesn't help, you could try this place

    http://www.gold-software.com/download8524.html

    for a blocker. It's free to trial.

    Or perhaps a search using "ad blocker" on this site of free and/or shareware programs...

    is it your email client showing the ads?
    Thunderbird lets you elect wether to show images with your emails.
    If with your browser, firefox has an imageshow extension which lets you block all images.

    Also make a note of where you saveing it as ur need to know this.

    Then send the file to me via email.
