Attachments to e-mail

I want to attach a number of pictures to an e-mail without the pictures being displayed in the body of the e-mail. So far, when trying to do this the pictures ARE displayed in the body of the e-mail when received by the recipient. So, how can I do the attachment without the pictures showing up in the e-mail when received by the recipient? Thanks for any help.

You can't if using Plain Text. Outlook Express displays or renders graphic
images attached to mail following the end of the text portion of the
message. If you want to use HTML, you can embed the graphics and they will
only appear in the absolute positions you indicate in your HTML coding.

In any case, you cannot control what an individual user will see in his/her
mail reader. Different mail clients will display images in a different
fashion and even if the recipient is using Outlook Express, they may have
their options set to read all messages in Plain Text, which defeats all the
work of creating it in HTML.

Out of curiousity, why is the question important?

I want to send about 15 picture (jpg) files by attaching them to an e-mail. I want the recipient to be able to access them by double clicking on the relevant icon in the attach line but not be bothered by the clutter of images on the body of the e-mail. Is there an alternative way of sending files to an e-mail address?

Hi Jules,

Outlook Express displays pictures in the message. The best way to share this
many pictures is by making use of personal Web space. It would also be
possible to create a slide show (there is probably free software available
on the Internet) and make this available to the recipient. A slideshow would
be a fairly large file for dialup sending and receiving.

Here is an example of using Word, FTP and Web space provided by the ISP.
Slideshows were also made available for the people involved, but have since
been removed.

Zip the jpg files into one zip file and then attach that.
