Inline pictures resized!

    Inline pictures resized!

    I think that the worst thing in WLM is that when I insert an inline picture,
    it is resized, even if it is only 640x480! This is very annoying especially
    when I insert an animated GIF, because when it is resized it is no longer
    animated!
    So I had to use Windows Mail instead of Live Mail to create my Xmas
    greetings mail!
    Well done, MS!

    I agree it's confusing, but the recipient does see the animation, so it's
    not lost.

    I am also unable to insert moving gifs. The recipient doesn't see the
    animation!

    That's really strange because I tested it before I posted my answer just to
    make sure and the animation was viewed by my recipient.

    Windows Mail allows you to send moving gifs, however having tried Windows
    Live Mail on a couple of accounts & PCs, I am still unable to get the gifs
    working correctly.
    Please can you let me know how you have overcome this Larry, as I'm about to
    chuck my PC. Thanks.

    Re: Inline pictures resized!

    Have you tried sending it as an attachment to see if the recipient see the
    animation? If not, try that. Also, make sure their security settings are
    not set too high and what e-mail program are they using?

    Re: Inline pictures resized!

    Yeah an attachment is ok, but I wanted to use animated gifs in the mail
    itself alongside the text (think Yugo was wanting this too). This was
    possible with Outlook and Windows Mail.
    It doesn't matter what e-mail program receives it, it just appears as a
    static image, Live Mail just won't do what we want it to do (
