Receiving attachments

[royalpei]

I do many web sites, and receive many photos.

I am getting the photos in the body of the e-mail instead of an attachment.
I have tried to change all of my settings to no avail.
I used my husbands computer to send myself tests, no matter what I do I do
not get as attachments.
When I try to save them by 'copy', and go to my photo program and 'paste' it
states there is nothing on the clipboard.
So how do I insure I get them as an attachment NOT in the body of the e-mail.

use the paper clip button to add them.

Are you sure you are using outlook? Outlook Express autopreviews images
automatically.

Configure Outlook to *not* use RTF (Rich-Text Format). That uses
Microsoft's proprietary TNEF encoding scheme which places attachments
within the body of the e-mail; that is, placeholders for them are shown
within the body, not as an attachment. Only Outlook understands RTF so
it is unwise to use it unless you can guarantee that your recipient also
uses Outlook and both you and the recipient use the same Exchange mail
server.

Configure Outlook to compose in plain-text or HTML format. In the
Internet format settings, configure Outlook to convert RTF e-mails to
HTML e-mails for Internet recipients.

It is also possible to embed images within an HTML-formatted e-mail.
Just like images can be embedded in an HTML web page, they can also be
embedded within an HTML e-mail. It depends on how the *sender* chose to
add the image: whether as an attached file or inserted into the body of
their message. Tell the sender the ATTACH the image instead of using an
<IMG> tag to embed it within the page for their HTML-formatted e-mail.
If they can't figure out how to send the image file as an attachment,
tell them to stop using HTML and use plain-text format when sending you
an e-mail.
