Stop outlook from stipping out pictures on sent emails

When I forward emails with pictures, the pictures get stripped out and sent
as attachments. How do I configure Outlook not to do this.

You must embed pictures in order for them to be seen embedded. Apparently
the messages you're forwarding have those pictures defined as attachments.

No the pictures are not attachments. They are in the basic message with or
with text. Even when the email message has text the pictures will be stripped
out and sent as attachments but the text remains.

A new question. If I have an email that has both text and pictures how do I
forward the email without the pictures being sent as attachments and the text
not.

I have never seen this. Receiving a HTML message with embedded pictures,
forwarding them keeps the pictures embedded. Unless you convert the
message to plain text; then the images will probably be attachments.

What Outlook version?

I am using Outlook 2003. An I have tried to use HTML, plain text and rich
text. Every time I forward a message or reply to a message with embedded
pictures the pictures get sent as attachments. I know there is a setting some
where I need to change but I have not found it. I was hoping some one could
tell me where to go and which setting to change.

I am using Outlook 2003. I have used plain text, rich text, and HTML format
for my messages and still when I forward or reply to a message with embedded
pictures the pictures get sent as attachments. I know there has to be a
setting to stop this but I don't know which one it is.

Using Word as your mail editor, composing in HTML and using Insert>Picture
should embed pictures so they aren't sent as attachments. Using Rich Text
also allows embedding, I think.
