Thanks for the comeback. The long story is that I want to avoid a pasted or otherwise inserted graphic either in the signature block or the body of an email message. The reason is that the graphic is listed as an attachment in the header of the message.....and many people will simply delete the message if they see an attachment is included. I've tried creating the whole message with a new signature block and graphic included in Word, and then pasting the whole document in the email....I've tried modifying the "on record" signature block in my mail program....I've cut & pasted, insertedand importred/exported....all to no avail. Any suggestions you have will be appreciated! Thanks, fbrick

Hah! Got it

OK, an "email document" is usually an HTML file, so all graphics ARE
attachments. In HTML, graphics are always external to the text file.

In Outlook (returning to the Mac next version...) you have the ability to
encode your messages in TNEF (Transport Neutral Exchange Format, a flavour
of RTF) in which case the graphics are still enclosed in a separate
container, they just don't appear that way.

However; I, and all the people who do throw bloated graphical emails into
the bit-bucket, usually don't sit there working out whether or not it has an
attachment. They simply discard anything over a set size (20, 50, or 100kb;
depending on how flatulent their usual correspondents are...). That will
hammer anything with graphics in it, whether they're attachments, embeds, or
links.

The statistics on email in modern times are quite astonishing: something
more than nine out of ten emails traversing the Internet are junk mail or
malware. Spam-filtering from the mainstream email providers is now very
sophisticated. While the freemail providers such as G-mail and Hotmail will
accept all manner of crud, the email services used by people with a bit of
experience just won't. Anything with more than one hyperlink in it is
likely to die without further troubling the scorer

Since I can't solve the problem for you, let me make a cynical suggestion to
you: you probably DON'T want to hear back from anyone who can only look at
the pictures Chances are, people who can't read English are not making
enough money to do business with you

Hope this helps

Is this that dreaded format that in all other newsreaders/ email client
will show up with an attachment and if you open the attachment show what
code type is but browser say it does not understand. In fact it was
actually that the MacOS can't understand it. Like exe file if your not
using bootcamp or Parallels.

John, Thanks for your help and insight! fbrick

Hi Phillip:

Oh, I don't know that it's as bad as that

Entourage opens TNEF right up. I think Apple Mail can open it also. Some
of the lighter-weight Freemail clients might struggle.

Cheers
