Wow...I've tested what you said and your advice is certainly correct! It
will be a couple of days until I can get at the other machine to check out
the settings. I hope it is this simple. Thank you very much.

Plain text messages with attached images in OE (when not with it set to
read messages in plain text only) will display the images at the bottom of
the message. I think if you set OE to read in plain text only, then it
won't do this. Similarly, there is a registry hack the user can make to
change this behavior, but that blocks the ability to read messages in
plain text only.

Joy, I am trying to puzzle out the same issue. Let me use my own words.
On my machine if I send an e-mail with a picture attached, the recipient,
when he opens the e-mail, see the text I have written followed by the
opened picture. On another similar computer system, when the recipient
opens the e-mail, only the text shows. The recipient must click on the
picture file icon in the "attachment" line to open the picture. My
question: what adjustment is making the difference in response?

Someone just sent me several .jpg images. They open OK from the Attach
window, but usually they show up in the body of the e-mail. I haven't
changed any settings, but I can't remember where to look to make sure
that they DO show in the e-mail itself.
