Sometimes, I wish to include a small image inline with the rest of the text
in my emails. However, the quality of the image sent is much poorer than the
quality of the image pasted in (or inserted). It appears that the colour
depth has been reduced.

Does anyone know whey this is happening and how I can correct it please

Thanks

Version of Outlook? What is the image format when you insert it? Are you
using HTML or RTF? What mail client is the recipient using?
 
Diane sorry I should have given this info from the start.

I'm using Outlook 2002 SP3 and sending using HTML format.

The colour depth loss happens no matter which client I send it to, even if I
send from one of my email boxes to another and retrieve into the same
Outlook inbox. It also happens whether I paste an image from Paint Shop Pro
using cut and paste or if I save and insert from disk.

As an example, I just pasted an image into a mail with 24141 colours. It had
181 colours when I received it. Same effect when I inserted the image.

It appears that the problem is something to do with the paste/insert. If I
copy the image into the email and then copy and paste it back into PSP, the
colour depth has decreased. Why does outlook decrease the colour depth in
this way, and how can I stop it from happening?

Thanks

Neil
