Mail Settings Issues

[Michelle L]

I have a Toshiba Satellite notebook running Vista Home Premium. I have been
having an ongoing problem with sending .jpg pix to friends/customers - it
doesn't matter if I use Outlook, Windows Mail, etc, it is the same in every
program. I can send a new mail message, and attach pix to it by the attach
icon, or, with the drop down menu, and they will only be added on the
'Attached' line (box). I have no options to 'imbed' pix into the body of the
message when I send a 'new mail' message. I get more options available if I
am doing a 'reply' to a mail message - in this way, I can go to the drop
down, and 'insert picture' into the body of the response, or I can just do as
above, and it will attach in the normal fashion. In all regards, on my end,
it all looks normal - I can see the .jpg on the end of each attachment in the
box, or, I can also see the pic itself in the body of the response, if that
was the choice. The third way I send pix is by right clicking the pic or
pix, if sending more than one, and clicking 'Send To Mail Recipient', and the
pix are all attached and ready for the email address, subject, and text -
When these get to the recipient, in most cases, they either can't open the
attachments, or, the attachments aren't there, but in the subject line or the
body of the text there are tons of garbage, or code, which I assume is my
attached pix, but no one can view them properly.
I am really frustrated with this, and I know there is probably some setting
that I'm missing that is doing this to my outgoing attachments, but I'm at a
loss as to what to do to fix it. Any help will be appreciated!

You appear to be sending mail in Plain Text Format, you also probably have
'reply to messages in the format in which they were sent' selected, that
setting is replying to HTML mail.
Try going to tools menu>options>Send tab, select HTML as your mail sending
format>apply.

Hi,
I just sent a test message to one friend that religeously gets garbage
code in my email attachments. I sent two .jpg files, so will see what
she says...sorry for the delay - I lost the link to this thread, had
to find it again...also, when the notification was sent to me that it
had been answered, the link did not work, and only brought up a blank
page...I have saved this page to my favorites list, and, hopefully, I
will not lose it...will keep it there in case I have more problems...
