hi jeff, you don't need to resort to html parts. you just need to make sure that the content disposition of the image attachment is "inline" rather than "attachment". to do this, after attaching the image file, while viewing the list of parts before sending the message, use the arrow keys if necessary to navigate to the image attachment and press Ctrl-D which toggles the disposition between inline and attachment. each time you press Ctrl-D, the first character on the left hand side toggle between "A" and "I" to indicate the disposition. cheers, raf
