i didn't see anything it related topics... for some reason my friend cannot receive attachments because her son put up ton of firewalls...im not really sure what the entire problem is...she's unable to forward an attachment (maybe that's it) I sent it as an attachment anyway...see if she does get it and if so told her to forward to my gmail acct. and in the meantime i'll find out how to imbed into the email...also can the photo be extracted once imbeded? appreciate the help, jfey

Hi jfey It seems like a format problem, I would like to know that are you using Outlook to send the email? If yes, you can change to HTML format and send the photo. If you are using a third party tool for sending, you could ask on the third party forum. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvr3rdpartyapps/threads If all the above do not work, could please provide the information about Exchange Version, Outlook Version?
