when I forward an email with pictures in the received email why do they end up as attachments by the receiver?

Question

I receive the email and the picture is in the email body. When I send this email it is sometimes received as attachments and each one has to be opened individually.

Answer 1

You have to use Outlook or Outlook express or whatever email program is on your computer to insert images into the email, rather than as attachments.

The problem with using Yahoo arises in that you are using their servers in Washington to send email, but the picture you want to send is on your computer in another state. The only way to get the two together is to upload the picture as an attachment.

With Outlook, simply start a new email message, then click on Insert, then browse for the picture, and click OK. Voila, the picture is inserted into the email.
