red "x" in Microsoft Outlook

I haven't seen Outlook 2002, but we have 2000 and default settings prevent pics from being downloaded, and certain attachments from even getting to your Inbox. You have to change your security settings in the Tools, Options area. Including, but not limited to "Change Automatic Download Settings"
