Thanks to both of you.

I agree that it was all simple if the users selected Word as their email
editor, but I can't predict that.
I found the following: http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/htmlimg.htm
That seems a little complicated, but maybe I'll give it a try.

Thanks again!

Just to add to what Ken says, if Word is the email editor, you have an
additional option: Return a Word.Document object using the
Inspector.WordEditor method, then use Word methods to insert a picture. In
this instance, the Word macro recorder can be your friend.

Dear newsgroup.

I am trying to insert a picture into a new email using vba code in Outlook
2003. The attachments.add method seems to add an attachment (or an icon),
but what I want is to automate the functionality of the menu command
"Insert
Picture" that will display the picture inline. How can this be done using
VBA?

Thanks in advance,
Wolfgang
