Photo Attachment Problem

H

Heirloom Linens

I have been using Outlook 2000 for years and any time I attach a photo to an
email, it always gets sent as an attachment, in it's native format...in this
case jpg. (I have always wondered how to "embed" the jpg, right into the
email, rather than forcing the recipient to open the attachment.)

Now I have just installed the same version of Outlook, onto my new PC and
find that an attachment is now embedded in the email and is sent as a bmp
file despite the photo being a jpg file.

So here's my questions:

Is this change a result of my starting to use Word as my email editor? If I
switch back to Outlook, my jpg files attach as before. As attachments and
not embedded.
Can I embed a jpg file into my emails, rather than having them convert to
bmp files?

This change was originally thought to be a result of my new PC install of
Outlook but I know notice that my work PC has also stopped attaching jpg's
as jpg's and it also is converthing them to bmp files. Is it possible that
this is the result of a Windows XP update?
