Sherry, Understood. Actually I post in plain text, I was looking for confirmation of what was considered an attachment.
While I understand your position (don't necessarily agree with it, but that's not the issue), I must say that I don't believe most users would classify an embedded image such as one for a signature file as an attachment. Perhaps the guidelines could be tweaked to specify 'no attachments or embedded images'.

So yes, embedded images can be considered as an attachment. We have users from all over the world and many of them have limited internet access or on dial-up. HTML messages are considerably larger than plain text, especially if they contain graphics and animations. Please be considerate of those users by using only very basic HTML if you don't want to or can't switch to plain text.
