We have recently got new computers with XP Home and new Outlook Express
(Version 6). When we write an e-mail and attach photo files, OE adds the
picture to the text portion of the e-mail (embeds it). All we want to do is
send the JPEG file as an attachment. I have tried to find a method to turn
this "feature" off but have failed.

What you describe is standard procedure.
As far as I know you cannot change it.

It is not embedded. It shows a copy /after/ the text of the message. What
other people see is dependent on their e-mail client.

You can turn off the option to see the graphic on your machine, but not
someone else's. The only way you could do that would be to attach a folder
containing the graphics.

For your computer only:

To prevent graphic attachments to be automatically displayed in messages you
receive, either set to read in Plain Text, or see:

This is standard in OE
The important point is to always reduce the photo size for sending via e
mail
The easiest way is to right click on your photo and select "send to " and
then select "mail recipient" . A window then opens and you select he
smallest size and the an e mail opens with the photo attached
Again the photo is also shown in the text
By holding down ctrl you can select a batch of photos
