How to remove image attachments
I use word mail merge to send out e-newsletter.
There are 7 images inserted on the word file, and they are all attached automatically somehow when I send out newsletter using mail merge function. Does anybody know how to get rid of or hide those attachments?? |

How to remove image attachments
Because HTML cannot actually contain images (it only references them), when
you create an HTML format e-mail that contains images, the e-mail is constructed using the MIME standard and consists of several "parts.", The main HTML part references all the other ones. However, if the receiving email client software does not understand the parts (and even if it does) it may present the various parts as attachments. I wonder if that is what is happening in this case? -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Emily" wrote in message ... I use word mail merge to send out e-newsletter.

Do you suggest any solutions?? I have already made some suggestions. Please try to understand them, and do not simply throw the problem back at people who are trying to help you. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Emily" wrote in message ...

How to remove image attachments
Emily,
Did you ever get an actual answer on this as i have the very same problem. What i have found is that if i email at work another person within the same email system its fine, the attachments are hidden but if the email goes external, thats when the recipient sees the attachments. The same is true for incomming emails so i know its not the client as such, on my work laptop i sent to mail shots from exactly the same word document, one internal, one external, the internal one looks great, the external one is slightly different, the attachments are back and the text has lost that 'soft focus' effect.

I don't know if Emily got an answer, but...
1. If you are using Outlook/Exchange (you don't say) then... a. it is possible that Outlook is doing different things to your outgoing emails depending on the recipient (e.g. if your workplace uses Exchange Server, it may use a different delivery format on a per-recipient basis). `til now I would have discounted this on the grounds that if you sent an HTML format email, Outlook would send the same email to every recipient. But perhaps that is incorrect. b. as I understand it, Exchange tends to transform incoming emails prior to delivery to Outlook clients, i.e. once the email has reached Outlook, you can no longer dicover what the original MIME format email that was delivered to Exchange contained. But I'm not completely sure about that. 2. If you know how to look at the "source code" of the email, then it may be worth extracting the source that was delivered to you via your workplace, and outside your workplace, and comparing the two.
