You are emailing a "web page" including all it's content. I.e. the links to the graphics are not being preserved as links to your web site, but rather the content of those links is being included in the mail. Whether or not these show as 'attachments' in addition to being shown as images in the rendered HTML is a function of the email client (MUA) used to read the mail. It has nothing to do with Mailman as you can see from the hotmail copy (presumably sent directly, not via the list). You have to create your email with links to the content on your web site, not with imbedded images. This is a function of how you create the mail. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
