attachment in the body vs attachment line?

Hallelujah, this worked! When I tried that originally, the "insert picture"
option was grayed out...I probably didn't have the curser down in the body of
the message.

Thank you so much!

After much head banging and trying a zillion different "solutions" that
simply didn't work I stumbled on something and had to share it.

I had always been attempting this by going to the Insert menu, then Picture,
etc. and it never worked (file always inserted as an attachment). I
discovered that by using the Picture Toolbar I could click on Insert a
Picture and the picture would be embedded into the body of the email. Sure
hope this helps someone else!

My set up =
Outlook 2003 using Word as my editor in an HTML email using my corpration's
security (and Gody only knows what that is but it's very restrictive; I've
read that security options can play a role) (Win XP)
