could someone please tell me what setting I have wrong that won't allow me to
forward mail with pictures. People get the text but if it includes a pic it
doesnt show up. I would be so grateful for some advice. Thanks
 
Outlook Express? Tools | Options | Send | HTML Settings. Check: Send
pictures with messages. And make sure HTML is selected for your Mail Sending
format.

Using what program?

Set blank mail as rich text.

The problem may be their settings- include your own mail in the cc and see
if you receive it ok. One of the critical updates changed some settings to
block attachments that could possibly be viruses- the security settings for
Outlook Express may need reducing- get them to check their settings.
 
Thank you I have checked the html setting and that ones right. It's my msn
and cableone account, I will check the update on outlook. Thanks
 
if you are speaking about Outlook then goto Tools/options/security/download
pictures: change auto download settings - make sure the permit downloads in
email messages... (2nd Option) is checked - then add that person's email
address to your safe senders/safe recipients lists
 
I have done all that and its all as you say. I can send them from work which
is outlook but my msn and cableone account wont let me, any ideas?
 
Outlook, or Outlook Express? Check Sent Items. If the picture is there, than
the fault is not with OE.

The answer to your question depends on what E-mail client you're
using, and what E-mail client the recipient is using, as well as
what the settings are in these programs. For more help, start by
telling us something about what E-mail clients are involved.
 
It's when I send from my msn account and my cableone account. My work
account is outlook and that one works just fine.

No, the account you use doesn't matter. What E-mail *software*
are you using with you msn/cableone accounts?

let me know which type of machine your using: XP or 2000? I have to pick up
my kids. I will check in the morning and help you then. have a good evening
 
Not sure what that is, msn is outlook and cableone I dont know but its all
coming from the same computer, and yahoo will send the pics. Hotmail is msn
do I have to pay for that one to have my pics included?
 
In the program you are using to send the mails look at the help menu, About.
That tells you what the program is.

As said earlier you may be sending the picture but your recipients machines
could be blocking the pictures. They must check their settings too. So, not
only what program you are using to send the mail is important- the mail
program they use to receive the mail matters. Their program could be
stopping receipt of the pictures.
As said earlier there was an update Microsoft made and it changed the
default behaviour of Outlook Express so that the attachnents are blocked, so
the problem may be on their machine not yours.
As asked- what do you use (Help menu, About tells you) and what program do
they use to receive the mail (Help, About tells them). If it is Outlook
Express they need to see if it is that program stopping the receipt of
potentially dangerous files- they need to reduce the level of security that
is set.
If it is there machine doing this then it doesn't matter what you do on your
machine- it is their machine that is blocking the picture- you can't change
that but they can. So please find out what they are using- then the setting
can be described to you. And confirm which program you use.

And Kat, please supply the version information you see there,
too. Also be sure to differentiate between Outlook and Outlook
Express. Although many people don't realize it, they are two
different programs.

This is the wrong place to ask questions like this. This group is for
the XP OS, and and since the OS has no ability to send mail, the
question is off-topic.

Post to a group that deals with your news client.
 
It's likely not a sending issue, but one on the receiver's end. Outlook
Express will by default block attachments that have the potential to
be dangerous. You have to enable the capability to Open or Save
attachments via the Tools, Options, Security (TAB). As to sending,
just check your Sent Items folder and see if the attachment is still
embedded in your original/transmitted email.
 
I am also having trouble forwarding email with pictures. I am using outlook
express. and have internet explorer, When I try to send even to myself only
the words come out not the pictures. Any help would be appreciated.
