Images Don't Print when Embedded in HTML E-mail Format

[Gilley]

Basic information:
Windows 98
Outlook 2000
IE6 with SP1

This problem is occuring on many of our systems. When an image is embedded
in the body of an HTML formatted e-mail, the image doesn't print.

However, we have copied the image to the clipboard, started a new e-mail in
Rich-text format, pasted the image in the body and sent it to another user.
This works fine.

Our main question is ...
How can you change the format of an e-mail you have received on the fly? I
can only change it to/from HTML and Plain Text. When you change to Plain
Text, the embedded image is removed and you are left with only the text.

Any suggestions and/or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Gilley

Gilley,

I had the same inline image printing problem with Outlook 2000 emails
on two Windows 98 SE machines (a desktop & laptop.) It was solved by
installing Service Pack 3 for Microsoft Office 2000. Your results may
vary, but you can download SP3 here:

Microsoft Download Center
Office 2000 Update: Service Pack 3 (SP3)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...70-47D0-4306-9FA4-8E92D36332FE&displaylang=en

In case the above link gets moved, the main Office 2000 downloads page
is here:

I can only change it to/from HTML and Plain Text. When you change to Plain Text, the embedded image is removed and you are left with only the text.

If you change an email's format from HTML to text, images will no
longer be visible within the body of the message. This is normal:
images can only be displayed within an HTML message by using the IMG
tag. When the message is reformatted as Plain Text, the IMG tag (and
all other HTML tags) are stripped out, leaving just the message text.

HTH.
