How to remove image attachments
Emily 12/9/2008 4:38:00 AM
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??

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?

I don't know how it happens.

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.
