Request for Help: Sending HTML Email, without any images embedded; details in message body
First part of what I've done: I have created HTML document using
Microsoft Word 2003 with a body of text and saved as .HTML format. Next, I opened the file in NotePad to add my thumbnail / images code from PhotoBucket (image host), to insert clickable thumbnails into the page. The file is saved again. First test of the file by opening in Internet Explorer 6.0 shows my code is correct; thumbnails are functional and links work as expected. Close all applications. Second part of what I've done: Now, in Explorer, I right-click my HTML file and "Open with Word 2003". My page displays, much as it did in Internet Explorer, except I can edit text and move thumbnails (if desired). I click the "Email" icon on the toolbar (Fifth icon from left) and now enter the recipient address. I click send, and off my message goes. Problem: My thumbnail images (small versions, also on the server with main images) are embedding into the message and thus bloating the message size from 10 KB (.HTML) to over 50 KB (sent message). Help: How do I prevent Word / Outlook from embedding these thumbnails into the body of the message? I want the recipient to receive a bare bones, 10 KB HTML message, whereupon the thumbnails will download into their client upon opening the message. Rant: I've tried opening the document as described above, doing cut/paste from Word, opening in Internet Explorer and doing "Send Page in Email" which just attaches a .HTML file that they would manually have to open. I need some help. |

Change Outlook so that it does not use Word as an Email Editor. Tools,
Options, Mail Format. Word is a terrible email editor and in versions past was very unstable. It still causes problems. Also, Word creates terrible HTML code. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message was posted to a newsgroup, Please post replies and questions to the group so that others can learn as well.
