Bill G fm Ontario provides the best solution for yet another Microsoft pain. If you send a bunch of pics with the pics showing in the msg, there are email clients out there (e.g., yahoo) who reject it outright or aggressively treat it as spam or even think it's a virus. But apart from changing every extension and then asking the recipient to do the same, Bill gives the least painful solution. I wish MS would stop helping me!

Here is a solution that works with 'Outlook Express', but I have no experience with 'Outlook' or 'Web Clients'
After you have selected your pictures for entry on the 'Attach' line, click on 'Format' in the top command line. A Format panel shows up, and at the bottom of that panel, you'll see the option: "Send pictures with message".

Make sure that this option is NOT selected by a check mark. If it is, then de-select this option, and your pictures will show below the text area. They will then only be carried as JPG pictures in your Attach line for the recipient to open them.
This is not necessarily a permanent setting, and must be checked for every E-mail you send with JPG pictures attached.
Best of luck.

To prevent seeing picture attachments in outlook express messages you receive you can tick the box in the: tools - options - read tab to "read all messages in plain text" - the pictures will not then open until you click on the attachment icon for each picture --will not stop display in the receivers email, but you can at least tell them how to stop it happending in Outlook Express

Based on my limited experience, it appears that the picture shows in the body of the message when it is OPENED in Outlook Express, regardless of the source, Outlook or Outlook Express. (This is what I am trying unsuccessfully to stop.) This does not happen when the mail is opened in Outlook.

not tried this but have been told this works
regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0
where {GUID} is a unique alpha-numerical string corresponding to your identity.
Set the DWORD value for "Automatically Inline Images" to 0
create it if it is not there

> The down side is that your recipient will have to un-zip the file before he or she can view the images.

The real down side is that you never know if Mickeysoph is going to change Outlook Express so that even the contents of ZIP files get displayed, the same way that the contents of ZIP files now get displayed in XP's Search results (unless you are savvy to some rather slick and obscure wizardry).

Take care!
