how do i create a html email in outlook that will not show images as an attachment?
March 9th 2010
ive created an html email with images as an absolute link in outlook and test sent it to my yahoo account and when i opened up the email in yahoo it showed the image as an attachment. was wondering if i could just have it embedded in the email only instead of having the image as an attachment as well.

The t in html stands for text. Images will never be text (except for images constructed from characters, which are not likely to retain sufficient spatial integrity to retain the art). The type of document you are looking for is available in MSWord as .rtf (rich text format) where the image you paste into the document becomes part of the document file (to my knowledge, this is not a currently available email format).

Try a test body like this:
Test E-mail
This is a test message.
End of test.
Where the src is, of course, the actual path to an image you have stored someplace on a Web server that allows hotlinking.
Yahoo! Mail will probably say that HTML images have been blocked; there will be a link to unblock images; click it.
If the entire document appears as an attachment, you’ve set your e-mail message itself, or its encoding, improperly.
