Pictures in e-mails

[KENNY KRUPNICK]

If someone sends me an e-mail, and there are pictures in it, and I forward the e-mail to someone else, and the pictures aren't in the e-mail when they open it, what should I do to make sure the pictures are in the e-mail?

I don't know exactly what is going on, but here is one thing you could do:

When you get the email with the pic, save the pic to your hard drive.

Poke the forward button as if you were going to forward the email

Enter the recipients address.

Navigate to the location on your hard drive where you saved the picture. Re-attach it to the mail about to be forwarded.

Poke send.

I don't know if the default behaviour for forwarding in most apps is to include any attached pix in the original. I would have guessed attachments were automatically included.

But maybe not, which would explain your situation.

Which email program? Or is it webmail?

I had to set this up in Outlook 2003 for someone recently...there's a setting in there to tell Outlook to always download pictures. It's not the best approach but from what I could tell it was the only way to guarantee that forwarded messages would contain the images.
