"Insert Picture" options in Outlook 2007

D

David H.

Using Outlook 2007, when I go to insert a picture into an html email message,
I can specify a location on my public Web site and Outlook will find it and
allow me to insert it (although it asks me for my Web site credentials for
some reason). There is a drop-down on the Insert button offering three
options: Insert, Link to File, and Insert and Link. But all three seem to
do the same thing: they insert the graphic into my message (making the
message larger), and they do NOT create a clickable link to the Web site
where the file resides. When I View Source on the received message, the code
is different (see below), but the effect is the same:

<p class=MsoNormal>One: Insert as image:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><img width=124 height=204 id="Picture_x0020_0"
src="cid:[email protected]" alt=MyLogo.gif><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Two insert as link:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><img width=124 height=204 id="_x0000_i1026"
src="cid:[email protected]"
alt="http://MyWebSite/MyLogo.gif"><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Three: Insert and Link:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><img width=124 height=204 id="_x0000_i1025"
src="cid:[email protected]"><o:p></o:p></p>

Am I doing somethign wrong? Do I need to change an option or a registry
setting somewhere to make this work?
