Thank you Diane,

What does 'encoding' mean? I compose my emails using plain text instead of
HTML Do I need to change it to HTML? I'll ask my aunty to check if the image
files are opened in Notepad & check if she has the text files.

Thanks for your time.

since it's opening as text, it sounds like it could either be an encoding
issue or the image files are set to open in notepad. If it's the encoding,
you need to change it on your end. Try zipping the images and sending her
the zip - does she still have the text files?

Hello Diane

Could I ask a question related to the sending of photo attachments in
Outlook 2003.

My aunty checks her emails from the Pacific Islands and can't open jpeg
files (family photos) I send to her as attachments. I use my Yahoo email
account to send the emails. She says when she clicks to open the
attachments
(photos), text files appear. It's like opening a word document with all
the
text/maths symbols. She uses Outlook 2003 as her email program.

I've searched the web for answers but haven't found an answer specific to
this query.

Could you offer some advice please?

Thanks,
Febs (Brisbane, Australia)

I receive e-mails in HTML format with photos in-line; i.e., intermixed
with
text. In Outlook Express the photos show up correctly but in Outlook
they
are listed as attachments and I have to click on each one individually
to
view it. It's not 100% of the time -- seems that this behavior depends
on
the number of photos attached.

Is there an option that controls this?

Hi. As a new XP Pro user, I am unable to view photos in the text
box,
whether I'm sending or receiving them. This results in my having to
open each photo separately to view them. Could someone kindly tell
me
how to change the view in Microsoft Office Outlook to enable me to
view photos when I open, or compose an email with digital photo
attachments.

Attachments in Outlook are never displayed unless you open them.
Embedded
images, however, will appear in the body of the message, but that's a
process only the sender can do. In other words, there is no option in
Outlook to make it behave like Outlook Express and show attachments in
line.

To compose a message with images in line, you must use Word, compose
in
HTML
and use InsertPicture to embed the image in the message.
