Whenever I insert pictures (JPEG) in emails, they look fine, but the picture
received by the recipient are degraded & grainy.
 
You cannot control how emails or attachments sent by you are displayed on
the other end - so much depends on their display settings and what program
they use to view pictures.

actually, I tried sending the email to myself and had the same issue. The
image I insert looks great when I create my email but once it is sent, the
image in my "sent" email and the image received in my "inbox" are both
degraded. I also tried sending the same image to my aol email account and
the image in my aol email was degraded as well. I don't have this problem at
all if I send the same image from my aol email account to my outlook email.

I'm not sure what I'm talking about but......

Outlook 2003 has the capacity to "fix" a jpg attachment (or,
I believe anything it thinks is a picture), so that it can
be easily/quickly transmitted. This probably means that the
quality is degraded for faster transmission.

Perhaps you have something set to do this?

It may be, but I'm not sure where to change it so that it doesn't happen.
I've checked in Options under both Outlook & Word (my email editor). Anyone
out there have the answer?
