Sending Gif`s in OutLook Express 6, Windows 98SE

Mar 1, 2004 7:31AM PST

With a checkmark in "send pictures with e mail" under tools, options, send, when I put a gif file in the message body it gets sent as an attachment. I have tried all possible combinations of the settings in "mail sending format" and this always occurs, all help will be appreciated, thank you.

I also have win98se and Outlook Express 6. I open the mail file, click on Create Mail and type in the Email address. If I want to use stationery I click Message (new using} or to put a picture on the mail I click on insert and choose browse for a picture. You can also choose to insert a file or whatever.
I have the names in my address book and only have to type in the name to get the email address.

Many times you can also open the file path, and right click copy, then go to your message body and then right click, click paste, to have the image appear in your message. Having it appear as an attachment is not a problem as most systems I know of support jpeg, and gif images. It just provides it's own page for a full sized graphic.

when you open a new email message using OE 6.0 you will find a little link on the far right of the bar where you have your font and size etc.
it is called insert picture.
if you click on it it will provide a dropdown for you to browse to wherever the gif is stored and you can attach it as well as indicate where it should appear, i.e baseline, left, right, centre, etc.
