Sending Photo Attachments

[grandaddon]

Hi All

When I send a photo attachment in a Windows Mail message the photo is sent
BOTH as an attachment AND in the body of the message, and messages seem to
take forever to send.

I am using Vista Home Premium. My mail sending format is HTML and I have
unchecked the "send pictures with messages" box in the set HTML settings.

Help Please!!!

Cheers

Don

Any reason why you did that ? It should be checked .
Photo attachment will appear in the message body. That's Vista to you.
Depending on how large ( file size ) is your attachment, it does not just "
poof " and gone.

Its likely that the photo is just being displayed and not included twice.
You can do a CTRL-F3 on the sent message and look to see how many
attachments are actually being included. If there is only one, then its
just a display issue that you can't change unless you zip the image file.
You might try reducing the size of the image prior to sending it.

No, it doesn't have the photo twice.
However, by convention, most email clients like Windows Mail will display
any photo attachment at the bottom of the email text body.

If you want to send faster, make the photo smaller, or get a faster Internet
connection.

In addition to what others have said, another way to verify that the
messages have just one copy of the photos is to look at the messages in the
sent folder and right-click on one to get the properties. In the properties
is the size of the message. Hopefully can use this to confirm that only one
copy of each photo is being sent.

Any image attachment is going to be encoded and that will add about 30% to
the message size. CTRL-F3 will show that only one image was included.

Yes, and I think it is encoded using Base64, as described in RFC 4648 ("The
Base16, Base32, and Base64 Data Encodings").

Note that I said in addition to what others have said ....

It has been my experience that looking at the message source, as done using
Ctrl-F3, can require a lengthy amount of scrolling when a large file such as
images often are to be viewed. I attempted to be as concise as possible in
my response and I certainly omitted some details. My intent was to offer an
alternative, in case it helps. I certainly did not intend to say that the
other suggestions are not good. The message size "hopefully" can be useful
for the relevant purposes, but certainly the size will not be a precise
amount directly related to the size of the photos. Thank you for explaining
that the size of each message will be greater and I assume that 30% is close
enough.

Attachments can also be UUENCODED instead of BASE64 encoded.

As this has absolutely nothing to do with Windiws Mail, pls ask at a
proper place.
