That is due to the fact that even though the browser is suppose to
ignore whitespace between html elements, some do not, i.g., MSIE.

Solution: just remove the whitespace, not pretty markup but it works:

<a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2031147-10358700"><img
src="http://www.Sworde.com/index_files/indexpage loan 204 125.JPG"
width="140" height="125" border="0"></a>

Word of warning, spaces in filenames in URLs need to be escaped

"indexpage%20loan%20204%20125.JPG"

or better yet avoid embedded spaces in names!

Take care,
