Is it possible to take an image that I have as a icon on my desktop as an image in 'My Documents' and put it into the actual content of an email message? I'm not talking about an attachment Thanks.

1. The only way I know to do it would to be use ure "snip tool" |
|
And then save it as a Jpg. You shouldn't have any problems once the link is an image.

6. I should have called it a "snipping tool." |
|
In vista, you will find it here: C:\Windows\System32\SnippingTool.exe it will capture a portion of your screen so you can save, annotate, or share the image.

3. What is the file extension |
|
and what email program do you use? In Outlook if you us "insert", the image will be embedded.

4. I depends on which email package you are using... |
|
Outlook can send the message body in HTML format, which supports inline images using Content ID (CID-url) sources. If you want the gory details on how it all works, you can find all here: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2111.txt

5. Looks like you had two questions... |
|
the other was how to get a desktop icon into an image formatted for sending in an email.
Well, the simple way is hit your print-screen button when the icon is viewable on your desktop. Open the Paint program. Edit, Paste - places the print-screen from the clipboard into the canvas. Using the "Select" tool (looks like a dotted rectangle), select your icon. Edit, Cut. File, New ... "Save changes..." , No. Edit, Paste. Crop to size. File, Save As.. Save As Type = PNG, JPG or GIF And give it a file name...

7. And to further complicate things |
|
To have it seen by the reader of the email, depends entirely on THEIR email settings, not yours.
For example, I resent downloading a lot of crap that arrives by email therefore all my emails arrive as plain text and I have auto loading of pictures turned off. On the other hand, I reckon most people don't do this or use web mail, so you will be fine.
