attachment in the body vs attachment line?

[Guest]

what determines if an attachment is in the body or up in heading part on the
attachment line. (2003). When I attach a file, the attach button appear and
the attachments are adding up in the heading part of the email. How can I get
them to be in the body and not use the attachment heading part.

Use Rich Text (ew) versus HTML as the message format and most attachment
will appear in the message body. I believe it is Tools-->Options-->Message
Format

Change your format, there are three: plain text, rich text, and HTML. You can
find this in Tools > Options > Mail Format

One of them will place the attachment in the body of the email.

I found that I couldnt attach pictures without it dropping into the main body
of message. I checked my settings (HTMP) and found that instead of "insert -
Picture". I used "insert - file"... This seems to be different from other
versions. Silly little thing that caused so much stress!!!

I have the opposite problem. I want my vcard attachment to go in the
attachment line and not in the body of an email. I noticed in the tutorial if
you use rich text the attachement goes to the body. Is there anyway to get
around that?
Thanks for any helpful hints you may have.

No. With Rich Text format, attachments will aways appear in the body.. Use
Plain text or HTML is you want attachment to appear in an attachment line
below the subject and above the body.

This didn't work for me...all it did was put the little icon inside the
e-mail rather than the photo. I used rich text to compose the message.

This is how attachments look like.

If you want an image to show inline, then use HTML and 'Insert Picture'.

 

[BaileySue]

Hallelujah, this worked! When I tried that originally, the "insert picture"
option was grayed out...I probably didn't have the curser down in the body of
the message.

Thank you so much!

After much head banging and trying a zillion different "solutions" that
simply didn't work I stumbled on something and had to share it.

I had always been attempting this by going to the Insert menu, then Picture,
etc. and it never worked (file always inserted as an attachment). I
discovered that by using the Picture Toolbar I could click on Insert a
Picture and the picture would be embedded into the body of the email. Sure
hope this helps someone else!

My set up =
Outlook 2003 using Word as my editor in an HTML email using my corpration's
security (and Gody only knows what that is but it's very restrictive; I've
read that security options can play a role) (Win XP)

Copy/Paste works just fine for HTML messages as well. Open the picture in
your favorite picture handler (Paint works, for example), select the picture,
choose Copy, then go to the Outlook message you're composing and click Paste.
