attachment of jpegs, tiffs

[Previs]

I am having trouble adding a jpeg or tiff picture into the boy of a message...

it is there as an attachment but it used to always also be in the body of the email....any suggestions?

How are you adding the attachments?

dragging them in like MaxBuilder says. I just noticed that the attachment that wouldn't enter the body of the email was 233.9KB and the Tiff that did go into the body if the email was 59.7KB. If this is the answer (and I am computer illiterate) can I make the jpeg/tiff in a size lower than 200KB? If so how?

Better send only JPG, GIF or PNG images. Do you drag and drop the picture to the message body or the the attachment panel?

drag to the message body

What do you get if you grad and drop the picture to the attachment panel? That should avoid the picture to be displayed in the message body

the problem is that I WANT the picture to be in the body of the emails....most people do not want to bother opening attachments. I tried both ways...all I get is the dialogue <<<....jpeg>>> sometihng like that....thanks for responding

If you want your recipient to see the picture it has to be indeed dropped to the message body. Only JPG, PNG and GIFs will be shown properly, I mean, as a picture. You talk about a dialog. Can you tell me what it actually says?

this first message appears in the message...
{File:"Acraig announcment.b2(2) copy"}

this actually shows the picture when sent
{File:"CD cover_craig.tiff"}

Don't use tiff. Only JPG, PNG and GIFs. Also it is much better if you avoid spaces in the name.

The first thing is to know the exact URL of the image. Do you know it?
