Graphics-rich email sent from Word or Outlook are corrupted

[Guest]

When trying to use Word or Publisher as Email editors, the graphics files
embedded in the Word document get sent as attachments rather than a "what you
see is what you get" transmission (Note: This is even true when viewing in a
Hotmail account). Outlook previews the sent msg's as they appear in Word.
Also, a Microsoft template designed for Email newsletters gets corrupted in a
similar manner. Is it possible to send an intact newsletter that is not sent
as an attachment? --

The better approach is to create your html message as a page in FrontPage.
All images must be placed in your page AND on your web site and then the
image must be linked to. Open a new message using MS Word as your e-mail
editor, open the FrontPage file, and select all (Ctrl+A), copy to the
clipboard (Ctrl+C), click in your message and paste (Ctrl+V).

However you send e-mail messages, you have no control over how they are
viewed. Many users, myself included, convert all incoming e-mails to plain
text which will separate out graphics and eliminate text formatting etc.
