When I click Insert l Picture, a window called "Picture" opens with questions
I cannot answer. What is a path? Is that a URL? What is alternate text? It
also wants layout & spacing. When I clicked Browse, the picture I had put on
the Desktop did not come up. Only a very small perecentage of the items on
the Desktop were available to choose from. This is all quite confusing to me.

Also, as Bruce indicated, if I want to send images from another e-mail, then
I first have to save those images to the hard disk and then insert them back
into the e-mail. I have always been able to just forward e-mail and the
images would be forwarded along with it. What happened to this system & why
did it change?

image.

As Bruce indicated, if you want to send images from another email, then you
first have to save those images to the hard disk and then you can insert

Back to the other point, if you go to View | Columns, then you can add the
size of the message, so you can see that in the OE message list window.

Thank you, but now I have another problem: I do not know how to access
my
pictures that are located in a saved e-mail. And, the pictures I have in
My
Documents I cannot access because when I Insert l Picture, I do not get a
full listking of my documents to choose from. When I try to get a picture
from My Pictures, I only end up with a bunch of small boxes. And finally,
I
don't need Insert l File Attachment because I know that the image will
work
there. Are you ready to give up on me yet? Thanx --Kira

You can't copy/paste a picture. You *WILL* get a red X that way. You have
to
either Insert | Picture and Browse to the folder it's in to insert it, or
Insert | File Attachment and Browse to the folder with the picture.

Do it that way and see if it's in Sent Items when you send it to
yourself.

Steve,
I do not know anything about sizes. I did check my Sent folder, but
found
nothing to indicate a size. I went to CTRL-F3, but I don't know how to
tell
if it shows whether or not the image is there. I could not actually see
it -
where it should have been there was a long line of "=20". When I
forwarded
the image as an attachment, it did include it. I am unable to send
myself
a
message with an image brecause I cannot get the image to copy & paste
into
the message. I get the same box with the red "X" in it.
Am I just not computer literate enough for you to help me? I know I
am
very limited. Thanks Steve, --Kira

try Message | Forward as attachment and see if that includes the image

Some email programs may not follow proper internet rules, so try
sending
a
message to yourself and include an image and make sure that works and
then
try forwarding it to yourself and see if that works.

Hi,
I can no longer forward pictures, animations, etc. in OE6. I
receive
them
just fine, but I cannot send them anymore. Does anyone have any
ideas
for
me
to try?
Thanks so muich for any help!

The picture source (path) is the location of the picture.
A URL is a path to something on the Internet. The something can be a
picture. You can enter a URL to a picture in the picture source box, but
you can't use Browse to enter the URL.
You don't need to put anything in alternate text or layout and spacing.

For forwarding messages with pictures, use Message | Forward as attachment.

It doesn't work sometimes due to incompatibilities between OE and other
messaging programs.

For the insert | Picture, see the OE Help file | Index and pictures,
inserting.

I would also suggest you get some basic computer training so you understand
more what you are doing on the computer.
