pic in email body 2

[mscallisto]

I have copied and pasted pictures into an e-mail body and sent them to others within my company, all using Outlook 2k.
When they open their mail the picture shows just fine.

As I said these were pasted into the e-mail body not attachments.

When I send them to an earthlink account they are not there.

When I send them to a hotmail account they have only the marker to the picture.

I am sending HTML.

What am I missing?

By doing this you are embedding an object into your e-mail message an not inserting a picture. In geek terms you pasted a binary bit of data into your message. Works fine if the receiver is within the same exchange system but gets stripped out when it goes into the Internet.

If you want the image to show as an image an not an attachment use the HTML editor and then use the insert picture function in Outlook. joegz

Sorry joegz "pasted was what I said but not what I did"

In the body of an e-mail (Outlook) I did the following:
Insert
Picture
browsed and selected a pic
clicked OK
The pic is displayed on the body of the mail.

My earthlink account gets the mail with an attachment (the pic).

A hotmail account gets only the marker that implies a pic was supposed be here.

Outlook users see the pic.

Whats the best way (if it exists) to get all to see the pic
other than having them click an attachment?

mscallisto,
Do the recipients (Earthlink and Hotmail accounts) use an email app that can receive HTML messages? If I insert a picture into an email and send it to someone over the net that's using an email editor set to "plain text", then it always shows as an attachment.

Does that make sense? Test this by sending the email to someone over the net that is also using Outlook 2K. ~cdogg

If Outlook is mailing through a POP server, it should send HTML OK with cut and paste. If Outlook is running through an Exchange server, it should send HTML OK with cut and paste for all clients on the Exchange server. For sending to internet addresses from an Exchange server, you must go to each addressee in the address book, select Properties for that user, select Send Options and check MIME and HTML to specify the format. Otherwise, the default action for the Exchange server is to convert HTML and RTF to plain text when sending over the internet (and pictures to attachments). However, a lot of the non-POP receiving servers are now converting HTML to plain text or not accepting HTML at all and responding with an error.

In my personal address book I picked a send to name,
clicked send properties
choose specify format
chose MIME and checked message properties to HTML
applied changes

I then created an e-mail to that person and in the body pasted a .jpg and I could see the picture in the body.

I sent the e-mail to my earthlink account.

Earthlink choose to accept the picture as a perfectly good attachment but not the picture in the letter body I wanted.

Earthlink seems to be the problem in this case and I think as CDOGG suggests, I need to find out where similar adjustments can be made in Earthlink.

Thanks for the post ... worth another star
