The attachments allow you to save the photos onto your hard drive prior to deleting the email if you wish to do so and the pictures are displayed in the message for you to view it. |

| 127963 | 2003-03-14 07:28:00 | Thanks Susan, yes I was aware of the differences. The problem is when embedded that can 4X the size of the attachment. THe cure being to copy/paste into word and scale down. But if its there as anattchment it can be openen to scale in a graphics manipulation program such a PSP IMaging or Picture IT!. So what is the object of of the embedded image? Does this occure automatically or does the sender actually have to loadit to the text body area. I thought you could turn this function off so it did not occur? IF so how? Its a double kill having attachments and LARGE images embedded. Wasting time and file size. Any other thoughts?? |

| 127964 | 2003-03-14 08:06:00 | I guess the sender is clicking insert Picture when composing the Email. This will insert the picture in the body of the message. Tell the sender to click Insert>File attachment instead. |

| 127965 | 2003-03-14 08:24:00 | As Susan says, the fact that the image is displayed for you to view in the email does not mean 2 files are received. It does not waste time, or increase the file size. As far as I know, the file size, and image sizes are determined by the email sender. It is good practice to compress the file size, and reduce the image size when sending email images. Maybe you could inform the sender. Maybe there is an option in the mail tools, or view, to stop this display, but I find it very convenient to initially view the images, then if desired one can save or copy the image from the attachment file. |

| 127966 | 2003-03-14 08:49:00 | Hi TEEBEE Susan has already pointed out that only one instance of the file is sent with the email so you don’t have a file size problem. But you do seem to have a problem with the size of the on screen image. This could be solved in two ways the sender could make the picture smaller i.e. fewer pixels/inch or if that is not an option (maybe for quality reasons) then they can simple resize the image on screen: 1. Click on the image to select it 2. Hold the shift key (maintains the aspect ratio) 3. Drag the handles on the picture until the required size is achieved. Hope that helps oldfart ;-) |
