images not sending

Post by Debskinner »

Hi
I have had this problem for ages, but it's an inconvenience rather than a big issue.

If I receive an email with an image in it, if I forward it to someone, the image is not there when it is received.

Equally, if I paste an image into an email, it is not there when it is received. For instance, yesterday I needed to send someone a screenshot & pasted without formatting. Have also tried pasting as quotation. Both just send blank space. So, whenever I need to send something like that I have to create a Word document, paste the image into that & send as an attachment.

Any ideas?
Thanks

To send an image within an email you wouldn't use either "Paste without formatting" or "Paste as quotation" both of which are only relevant to pasting text into a document. Did you try just pasting without the qualifications?

Regarding the images in received messages, are they actually embedded in the incoming message or did the message include only a link to a remotely stored image?
