If You Are Having Picture Problems In E-Mail With Outlook Express!

This erroneous setting causes OE to include a link to the picture in the message rather than actually sending the picture itself. A link is fine when the picture resides on a Web site, but a link to a file on the sender's computer can't ordinarily be viewed from your computer. And yet, when you return the message, the sender can see the picture just fine, because the link is again valid. It's hard to imagine why this would ever be useful, but Microsoft makes it an available option.

Here's what they should do:

1. Launch Outlook Express.
2. Select Options from the Tools menu.
3. Click the tab labeled Send.
4. Click the upper of the two buttons titled HTML Settings.
5. Put a check in the box labeled Send pictures with messages.
6. Click OK, and OK again.

That will solve the problem.
