Using Outlook 2002 with either Notepad or Word 2002 as e-mail editor

as an attachment, and also to add text descriptions of the pics or to
add pics to blank or part written documents and use word wrap.

Since Notepad can't be used as an email editor in Outlook (Outlook can use
its built-in editor or Word), obviously it's not possible with Notepad.
With Word, however, composing in HTML, you should be able to send a message
contaiing anything Word's HTML features can do. IN particular, pictures can
be embedded with the InsertPicture function. I don't know if the HTML
features of Word in clude captioning, but there are a ton of inexpensive and
free picture editors that can add the caption and text to the picture itself
so that it's automatically there when you embed the picture.

Also not connected with the photo/attachment problem I am regularly
getting send/recieve error messages '(0x800CCC0F)' or '(0x800CCC0D)'
with text like or very similar to 'could not connect to the server,
please contact your server administrator or ISP'.

The most frequent causes of this are 1) scanning mail with an antivirus
scanner (not necessary if you run the real-time scanner), 2) a send/receive
interval that's too short, or 3) a server timeout value set too low.

Hi Brian, thanks for the info.
I will try the insert picture function again. I am sure I must have been
doing something wrong last time I tried to put a pic in an e-mail for it not
to work, but it is too long ago to remember exactly what I might have done
wrong at the time.

Cheers!
