Vista - Place picture in attachment

Any picture I send with an e-mail takes place in the message (somewhere
between the text), I can't move the picture to the
enclosure/appendix/attachment.

Does anyone know the picture can be removed from the message, but not from
the e-mail? Is it possible?

I presume that you are composing in HTML format.

If you want a picture to just be attached and not embedded in the text,
use Insert, File as Attachment, NOT Insert, Picture. The Insert,
Picture is specifically to embed the picture in the middle of the text.

There are three options:
- File as Attachment
- Picture --> photomessage
- Picture --> Inline

There is some differnce between the last two, but not between the first.
When I add a picture it always will be embedded in the text.

the problem seems to be unusual, should I reïnstall the software?

And yes, I am using HTML (Rich text)

So you are saying that if you select Insert, File as Attachment and
select a picture type file (e.g. JPG, GIF), in the Message Composition
window you see the picture displayed in the message text and NOT just
the file name listed in the attachment line of header?

Or are you saying that the recipient is seeing the picture automatically
displayed at the bottom of the message or that you are
seeing the image displayed at the bottom of the message in the Sent
Items folder?

By default, WLM displays any image attachments (JPG, GIF, BMP) at the
bottom of the message text. This is a display only (not a duplicate
attachment) and only affects what you see on your PC, not what the
recipient sees. Whether the recipients also automatically see the image
is dependent on their mail program and its settings. To change whether
or not you automatically see the images on your PC, you can edit the
registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail]
"Automatically Inline Images"=dword:00000000

A value of 0 disables display of images at the bottom of the message
text. Not having the key or setting it to 1 enables display.

Note: When Tools, Options, Read, Read All Message In Plain Text is
selected, that also stops the display of images. (For a quick
workaround for the current message, press ALT+Shift+H)

Actually, it's the first option. I select Insert, File as Attachment, but
still (Checked on desktop version and online version) the picture presents in
the text.

The e-mail contains, from up to down:
- a bar with "play slideshow", "download all pictures", etc.
- message
- picture
- a bar with "download Windows Live Mail, if you want to make photomessages
by yourself"

At hotmail.com the attachment is in the attachment bar
At desktop the attachment is only in the e-mail.

I've tried to find the "Automatically Inline Images" in the register, but it
wasn't there, somehow.

I'm a bit confused by your response. You say

The first option I mentioned was that you are seeing the picture
displayed with the text in the MESSAGE COMPOSITION window while
COMPOSING the message in WLM. But your description sounds more like you
are seeing the picture displayed in the received message or the Sent
Items version. If you are just seeing the image in the latter cases,
then what you are seeing is Normal. Everything is working as intended.

You have no control over what a recipient's mail program is going to do
with attachments.

And I have no idea if there are any options in the Hotmail web site as
to what it does with attachments.

You do have some control over how your WLM displays attachments to you.

The "Automatically Inline Images" isn't there by default in WLM. You
have to add it. One way to do that is to take the following 3 lines and
paste into Notepad:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail]
"Automatically Inline Images"=dword:00000000

Then save as a .REG file (e.g. inlineimages.reg) and double click the
saved REG file.

I don't know how I should explain it. May I send you a 3 (parts of)
screenshots concerning the problem?

What I'm trying to clarify is are you seeing the issue BEFORE or AFTER
SENDING the message?

If you are seeing the issue BEFORE sending, that doesn't sound right,
and seeing the screen shots may clarify the issue.

If you are seeing the issue AFTER sending, that's Normal and the way it
is intended to work.

Before and after,

clicking 'file as attachment' in the 'insert' menu does exactly the same
as insert-->picture-->photomessage.

Look at Help, About Windows Live Mail. Does it list the build as
12.0.1606 ?

As soon as you complete the Insert, File as Attachment, does it add a
paperclip box under the Subject with name of the file you just attached?

If not, repeat, but insert a Word DOC file instead. Does that list the
file name
