There are 2 ways that can be done.

1) Set the message format to "Rich Text (HTML)". Then click where in
the message you would like the picture and use Insert, Picture to insert
it. You can intersperse text around the images.

2) Just use Insert., File Attachment as you have been doing. You won't
see the images in the message composition window. You should see them
in the message in the Sent Items folder after sending. By default, OE
displays any image attachments (JPG, GIF, BMP) at the bottom of the
message text. This is a display only (not a duplicate attachment) and
only affects what you see on your PC, not what the recipient sees.
Whether the recipients also automatically see the image is dependent on
their mail program and its settings. To change whether or not you
automatically see the images on your PC, see the following article:

Outlook Express Slide Show OE5, OE6
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/slideshow.htm
In the case of OE6, if the "Automatically Inline Images" key is missing,
it can be added with a value of 0 to disable display of images at the
bottom of the message text. Not having the key or setting it to 1
enables display.

Note: In Windows XP SP2 or Windows 2003 SP1, when Tools, Options, Read,
Read All Message In Plain Text is selected, that also stops the display
of images. (For a quick workaround for the current message, press
ALT+Shift+H)

Hi,

I have pictures that are in jpg format from a digital camera that I
uploaded to my computer and edited using Picasa2. I was able to add
captions and save the pictures. Only when I attach the picture to an
email I want to send out, the name of the picture is listed at the
top, but the picture itself is not displayed in the main body of the
email so that the sender can scroll thru them. I use outlook express
6, internet explorer 7,norton internet security 7 and windows xp with
service pack 2 installed also. I have people sending me email
including pictures that are embedded and I can scroll through them and
would like to do the same. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
