It is very common these days among the mass-market servers
(MSN, AOL, RR, Geocities, Tripod, etc.) to disallow "remote loading"
of images. (It prevents "hijacking" someone else's images into
your page, for example.) Most often, they do this by checking
the "referer" webpage, which your browser sends during the HTTP
request. If it isn't inside the same hierarchy (MSN/owner webpage,
in this case) - it won't serve up images.

What we have here is a case where either:
- the "mirror" is trying to save disk space/bandwidth charges
by remote loading the images... OR
- the mirror's webpages are *exact* copies of the original,
and set the base webpage to MSN (instead of itself); the
mirror then denies serving up images because it appears
to be requested from a foreign base page: MSN, rather than
itself.

The coding is defective, and non-compliant with standards.
It doesn't matter if some very recent browsers (with massive
security holes) can overcome the defects.

The techno-yahoos will complain that everyone should upgrade
their browser to the latest-and-greatest "fault tolerant"
versions. Bull. If the website complied with the standards,
*no one* would experience difficulties with it.
