230688 2004-04-20 04:20:00 Have upgraded from OE5 to OE6 and notice that whereas OE5 mail received with pictures embedded in the main page and then being forwarded on, come up with the Outlook Screen "One or more pictures in this message could not be forwarded, etc"

Any expert help would be appreciated.

O S is Win98SE.

Thanks in advance.

230689 2004-04-20 20:21:00 Not sure what you mean, Les. You can't forward pictures? Can you receive them? Is OE stopping you from seeing them completely?

230690 2004-04-20 22:33:00 Hi Robo, most Outlook Express e-mails received, have the pictures as attachments and the actual picture in the main body of the e-mail:

Attach: prettyboy.gif.


Main body: a picture of prettyboy.


Forward:

Attach: Prettyboy.gif

Main body: picture does not follow through.


Hope that explains it a bit better.

Sorry should have benn PC prettyperson.gif!.

Thanks,

230691 2004-04-21 02:36:00 I wonder if you are just noticing the difference between:-
"attach" a separate 'file' to the email
and:-
"insert" the file INTO the body of the email

Just a thought - I have only recently come to grips with this myself

230692 2004-04-21 05:54:00 Woof thanks for that, it's when I receive e-mail with attach. and embedded pictures within the body of the e-mail.

Forwarding them on and the attach. are still there but the embedded picture is eliminated.

Perhaps I did it different with OE 5, don't tell me we have to save and then insert, or copy and insert.

Cheers,

230693 2004-04-21 07:12:00 Funny thing is, I hate it when embedded pics are in replies and forwards when I don't want them to be and I just delete the buggers anyway.
I much prefer attaching, as embedded pics are usually bloat.

230694 2004-04-21 07:38:00 Have a look here...open OE and tools-options-send and see if mail sending format is HTML and next to that, check HTML settings and see if "send pictures with messages" is ticked.
Just guessing here. :)

Ummm..... are you sure you are in the right forum Les? I understand there are sites with plenty of prettyboys but you're going to be a bit disappointed here. ]:)

230696 2004-04-21 23:12:00 Thanks Robo, by this you must save and then attach, which is what I have had to do.

"Bloat" a new word, your meaning, it's like a "dairy cow", takes up the whole screen.
