No, they can't do Dropbox, too hard. I usually try to attach the jpeg to the very bottom of the email via the paperclip icon (I am not sure about the difference of attaching the jpeg to the bottom or dragging the jpeg to the bottom). When I drag it to the bottom, they say it is embedded in the email and I am not sure how to show the attached jpeg as an icon not image. Rick.
