Ton, thanks for the followup response. BTW, I'm now using Microsoft
Explorer.

Hello again Jan,
After re-reading your mail, think I finaly get the drift of your mail
"message as question".
Attachements are Objects(=usualy files) and they can get either Attached or
be Inserted and
can give the user the impression as though they are both file attachements.
Which basicaly
is true, except for in the way in which the sender's program handled the
Object at first.
In my OE50 mail program, there are standard a few options given as in how I
would like
the Object to be handled, before sending the mail:
WorkMenu-TextBar: Insert|File Attachement
Insert|Text from File
Insert|Picture
Insert|Horizontal Line
WorkMenu-ButtonBar: Button Attach (=same as Insert|File Attachement)
EditorMenu-ButtonBar: Button Insert Horizontal Line(=same as
Insert|Horizontal Line)
Button Create a HyperLink
Button Insert Picture (=same as
Insert|Picture)
The way I go about this in general is to use the Attach-button for a file
to
be attached to the email.
Generaly speaking, then the file should(will) not show up in the body of
the
message.
Though, there are exceptions to this rule of not being visable, and that is
with Picture or Text files
that are being attached. These files in particular, will then, in the
mailprogram, be directly visable
and also smoothly presented right below the original mail, in the PreView
Window. Since there
are no special breaks given, it looks then as though the attachement(s) are
then "one with the mail"
and somehow, at the bottom end, placed in the body of the message. This is
a
bit misleading, as
you are actualy looking at the mail in the body of the message and at
another, now attached file.
Here, when I receive an attachement that is usually not directly visable,
eg
like a particular program
file (like DLLs or Drivers), then I must SAVE AS to disk first, before I
can
have a look at it. The way
these attachements are presented and noticable that they excist as part of
the mail is done with
the precense of a paperclip-button shown on the PreViewWindowMenu-ButtonBar
or with a paper-clip
as a thumbnail picture seen in one of the Downloaded Messages' columns.
This
then implements that
these particular mails have attachements and are accompanied by other
files.
So, for you to have an attachement:
- only visable in the body of the message, I will have to click
Button Insert Picture (=same as Insert|Picture)
- only presented as "in a rectangular box at the bottom of the email", I
will have to click
Button Attach (=same as Insert|File Attachement)
>From memory, I am quite sure that the Netscape program works the seem way,
eg has the same options
available for sender/user.
Regards,
Ton Maas.

Hello Jan, actualy that is how Netscape presents it to you.
All I do in Outlook Express(OE5) overhere is to click Attach|"Filename".
Then when I click on "Send" the mail gets also visable in the preview
window, same
as yours "it ends up within the body of my email, already open".
1-On arrival at your end(and as I have worked with Netscape 2.2 before)
can sort of
imagine what you mean with that square box at the bottom mentioning the
filename
of the attachment.
2-On arrival at my end, any attached file is visable in the preview
window. This is as there
are a few options available for me to have it this way, which I applied,
or even have it set
as a slide-show or not set at all.
I suppose if you want the attachement to be directly visable in your
preview window,
that either you will have to upgrade to a newer(preferably the latest
available) version
or that you will have to go into the Netscape's program settings. But
from
that I cannot
remember much anymore.
Know that Netscape does have a good support-site, with Articles available
for answering
"anyone's questions". If your question is included here, I don't know.
Otherwise on the List there are quite some Netscape users, so try also
that as a source.
Last (or first) resort would be to also try any of the Netscape MailNEWS
groups, available
from your Internet Service Provider(ISP).
Sorry I cannot help you further on this.
Regards, Ton Maas.

Tom, I just received your latest email on the Metastock list. I
recently downloaded hypersnap software and can now attach charts to emails.
However, I can't figure out how to do it the way you did in your last
email.
When I attach a chart gif file, using Netscape, it ends up within the body
of my email, already open. How do you attach it so that the name of the
file is in a rectangular box at the bottom of the email, such that the
recipient of the email has to click on the file name in order to open the
file and see the chart?
Jan
