you have to send a html document and embed the image into the email.

in outlook, make sure you select html for email type and click Insert | Picture | From File, pick your file from the list.

Example:
From my Road Runner (Outlook2003) email, I attached 2 pictures and sent them to both my 'Hotmail' & 'Yahoo' email.
In my Hotmail the pictures were inside the email (I DID NOT HAVE TO OPEN AN ATTACHMENT TO SEE THEM).
In my Yahoo the pictures were in an attachment that i had to open in order to see them.
My goal is to have my recipients NOT have to open an attachment to see the pictures (images)!!!
Thx for your patience...i'm just trying to learn!!

Use HTML to reference the image in the text of your email. This is the quickest way to send images which are posted on the Internet. Do this either by copying the source HTML into a message you are composing or writing the HTML yourself.


so you could upload the pic to www.filecabin.com and use the html generated by the upload to embed the pic.
