Inserting a picture into an e-mail and keeping it there

I inserted pictures into an e-mail. All looks good. But when I send the mail, Outlook removes the picture(s) from the e-mail and makes them attachments. The e-mail shows the text without the inserted picture(s). In Outlook Express, the sent e-mails arrive with the picture(s) still in the body of the e-mail. How do I do this in Outlook?

Outlook (not OE) previously DID show pictures in-line in
HTML-formatted emails.

Somehow, it has stopped doing this recently -- I wonder
if possibly due to an update I have innocently accepted.

This was useful and I'd like to get it back if possible.

Any ideas ? Thanks, Phil

were the images embedded or attached? They need to be embedded.

I am the original one who wrote this question. The pictures were not attachments but imbedded in my original e-mail. Outlook removes these pictures from my letter and converts them into attachments which is unacceptable. Each picture must then be opened, one at a time, and is then out of context with my letter. I have tried sending this mail several times with the same result. In Outlook Express (a free program), this does not happen and the e-mail arrives at it's destination in the form that it was sent (with pictures in place). If Outlook was designed this way, it is a BIG mistake, a mistake I hope will be corrected.

Something is wrong because when outlook sends html and the images are
embedded in the html (using insert, picture which enters html tags into the
body (img src=[contentid]), the images remain embedded in the html. It's
hard to say what is going wrong - is the message arriving as HTML?

Hi Diane & a2thdrlr, )

a2thdrlr: I'm not trying to hijack your post, just
trying to get an answer - I asked same Q 25june04 (qv).

Yep, I really mean embedded, by Insert Picture - so you
can see them in-line when sending and when received.

I think the only things that have changed since it worked
are ...
a) I stopped some services (to try improve
performance) but these restarted again automatically upon
reboot anyway so I think didn't have any lasting effect.

b) I accepted Windows updates - maybe some
security/other update has taken away that
functionality ? (

Can you help at all ... PLEASE Thanks, Phil )

I just noticed, no. It arrives Plain Text format. I checked in Outlook Tools/Options/Mail Format and I am set-up as HTML. Why is it changing to Plain Text after I send it? That's why my pictures become attachments, I guess. Again, if I now send that same e-mail in Outlook Express, the images remain embedded. What is not working in Outlook? HELP!!

Diane, one added note to last reply. As I am new to Outlook I didn't notice this before but all my e-mails are arriving as Plain Text rather then the HTML format that most of were sent as. Again, I seem to be set-up for HTML as I described in my earlier reply this morning. Now I'm really confused!

Diane, one added not to my earlier reply. As I am new to Outlook I didn't notice this before but all my e-mails are being received in the Plain Text format. These include e-mails I know were sent to me in the HTML format. As I described earlier this morning, I seem to be set-up for the HTML format. Now I'm really confused!
