When i send it over to someone elses address, all they get is "Red Crosses" in place of animated objects Is it their software that is not correctly displaying it or do i have to configure my outlook express to get it right. Cheers	Ritzz (731)

Basically I suspect that your recipient of the image needs to reconfigure their viewer options. Give us more info, and we should be able to provide more answers.	Greg S (201)

Whether the message is sent as html, text or otherwise doesn't affect how the attachment is transmitted. Perhaps whether it's "inline" would make more of a difference?	Greg S (201)
144841	2003-05-16 13:26:00	Well I just went into OE to have a look and my settings are to send emails as text so the option to insert a picture was unavailable. When I change it to Rich Text/HTML then I can insert the picture. I was playing around with that today and it does make a big difference. I found that if it is sent as an attachment it will not always show up in the message body but if inserted as a picture it will. And that is in Eudora as well as OE.	Susan B (19)
144842	2003-05-17 00:22:00	dunno about you guys but i prefer to send a text message with the pic as an attachment. they can then open the pic with whatever veiwer/editor they like.	tweak'e (174)
