Which email service do you use? (Example: Yahoo, Outlook, Gmail, Hotmail, etc...)

I've had that problem before.  Went to  www.java.com  and downloaded free updates and that fixed my problem.   It could be your javascript is out-dated. 
  Just my thought. :-\

Which OS and Email program are you using?  Some programs will prevent images from being downloaded to protect you from tracking cookies.
