OK. I got an email yesterday with 7 pasted in (embedded) pictures. I was able to view them all--no problem. But at other times I myself cannot even view other embedded-picture emails from this friend. Text, however, does get through.

The pictures are highly skilled artwork done on eggshells with lasers. Thumbnails attached here would be too small, but if you'd like to see them, send me your email address and I will forward them to you.

OK. I forwarded the email to several friends. One person saw only the first picture; a 2nd. saw only the first 3; a 3rd. saw none of them.

I was able to send all my pictures to my friends by (in Eudora) clicking "Send to browser". Once I viewed them in my browser (MSIE 6.0), I was able to right click on the picture and then click "send to email". I then sent the email and this particular friend was able to view all of the pictures I sent him. (He's using Eudora).

I shall welcome suggestions re what prevented me from successfully forwarding all pictures in the original email and what, if anything I could do in the future to avoid my workaround. If there are program settings that should be checked or unchecked, knowing what they might be and how they should be set, would be most helpful.

I do not know what browsers (very likely MSIE or Netscape) or email programs (most likely Outlook Express or Eudora) my friends were using.
