(*Resending because of Bounce*)

Sorry Mates,

The problem isn't with Patrick or his Outlook, it's with the mail
servers inbetween. To keep a long nerdy answer short you cannot
directly embed binary data in an email, it must be attached. The only
exclusion to this is Microsoft Exchange servers, which will allow it
because of a proprietary mechanism DIME (Think Whitworth socket).

If you want to send an image to another person you should always snd
it as an attachment to the email.

And before people reply and tell me that they get emails with images
in them all the time, they are not images, but HTML (the stuff that
web pags are made from, which is text) that refers to imags out on the
internet.

Cheers!
Jody
