The email is full of hyperlinked images and Mail cannot retrieve the images from the server that is hosting the images.
Is there a button in the header that says, "Load Remote Content?"
If so, and you know it isn't spam, click the button.
That is a preference setting to prevent spammers from identifying your email address as being valid. When the image is retrieved from their server, they can identify that you were a valid email address. That's why the option to not load remote content exists.
If there is not a "Load Remote Content" button, then it just cannot contact the server to get the images.
