I found this when I Googled: With WLM 2011 by default when Live Mail detects photos it converts the email to what Microsoft calls a "photo email" and the pictures are no longer embedded in the email. You can turn this off by going to File : Options : Compose (tab). Uncheck "Convert messages to photo emails ...". OK your way out. Close WLM & restart.

I have hotmail and you have to go through several steps when inserting a link in an email if you want it to be clickable if using firefox, if using IE it does it automatically it is one of my main gripes of the new hotmail. I have a great add on for firefox that I use, any link or url address anywhere that is not a clickable link I just put the cursor on the text of the address and double click and it will open it in a new tab, it makes it clickable. It is called text link

Terry - that was great - thanks. It completely did what I wanted to achieve. I can easily see if I've gotten new email on my other account without switching software, etc Now a new problem occurred yesterday - before I made those changes - and I have no idea what I may have done to cause it. probably something I did in experimenting with all these different email issues. I had my firefox set up to send links in emails (from my AOL address). But now I'm trying to send my mother a link (for the emergency microsoft update from 2 days ago) - and when I'm in Firefox (and the computer forum thread is open - or any web page is open) - and I go to File - then click send link - it brings up an email form (with my screen name in AOL as the sender - so that party's working) - but a whole mishigosh of info (the link info, perhaps) appears in the space where I should be entering the email address I'm sending it to. I have no idea why that is happening. If I cut and paste that info into the body of the email - and send it to myself to test it - it doesn't appear to be a link to get me to the webpage I want). Seems to me that the webpage link should be referred to in the subject line - and supplied in the body of the email - not some mess of information occuring in the send to line. I tried going to FF tools - applications- and mail to . I have several options to choose from - use AOL software (this appears twice - once with the AOL triangle with "default" in parentheses and once with what looks like a mail page form), and once it says use AOL mail. I think I've tried all three and it still doesn't work. And before I started trying to change my email settings this week, I think there was only 1 or 2 AOL options for mail application in Firefox. Okay - so now I checked all three. On use AOL mail, it gives me the gibberish (somehow related to the webpage I'm trying to send a link for) in the to: line. If I choose use AOL software (default) - with the mail form logo - it goes to AOL software - sets up the email correctly with the information about the link in the subject line - and the to: field blank for me to fill in the recipient. But it wants me to sign on or the send button is faded and I can't click it. If I choose use AOL software (with the AOL logo - not the email logo), it takes me to the AOL software page and says this file may not be supported by AOL. AOL will try to send it as a text file (and if I choose to try, it will tell me the file is too big). So I do I email somebody links? Thanks. Lynn.

We sent it as an attachment. Pam, it worked. When I was saving it, I had a look at what type of file was available, couldn't find a GIF file but I experimented with a couple of others and one of them worked. thanks a bunch, Annie
