Don't know that this makes any difference or not. Maybe this will make some sense to you. I saved the images to my desktop and gtried every graphics program I had to open them but all failed. This reminds me of a problem I've had with images in a PowerPoint presentation my wife prepared on her iBook. They worked fine for her but wouldn't open in PowerPoint on M$ and wouldn't open in OO.o Impress. I don't remember the details but learned them by googling. Turns out that Mac uses some proprietary method to save images taken from the Web (something from Adobe, I think) which Windows and Linux don't seem to support. The problem was solved by having her explicitly save the images to a different format (.jpg, I think). (Do the images behave OK for you if you download them directly from the site you mention above?) Weird! Evolution can open as can Opera (when I go to the above web page) but I can't forward.

[Evolution] Graphics lost in forwarded message
I frequently receive emails with embedded graphics. Evolution opens these without a problem. However, when I forward these to someone else, the graphics get lost. I've checked my compose preferences and the HTML box is checked. Is there some other setting that I've missed?

From what I've seen, evo doesn't forward attachments. The only way I was able to get it to do so was to Message - Forward As - Redirect, save as draft, edit, change source address to me (instead of the original person), and send.

Thanks for the input. My problem is that there are no attachments. The graphics are embedded in the email itself. I erroneously assumed that if I forwarded the email the graphics would go along also.

Re: [Evolution] Graphics lost in forwarded message
(Guessing--hope's that allowed) If you've set Evolution to send plain text only or your recipient only accepts plain text, could that be the cause of the problem? I haven't done anything with graphics, but I know I get a complex adaptation when people send me HTML mail. Also check Edit-Preferences-Mail Preferences-HTML Mail options regarding loading images. You seem to be accepting the images, but maybe your recipient has them blocked in whichever mail program he/she is using. (Another guess--you may well have checked this out already.)
