If you send a nicely formatted HTML email and your recipient has HTML turned off in their client, all they will see is the raw HTML code of your message. If you embed an attachment, and their client does not handle embedded attachments (which in my experience is pretty much any Windows email client) then they won't be able to deal with what you have sent them. It's not necessarily user error (apart from the fact that they're using Windows). There's just not much they can do about it apart from blaming you for using a Mac. Just take pity on them and put your attachments at the end of your message. Or send them a movie clip showing them how easy it all is on a Mac :-) Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Mob 0403 046 948 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to. -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Settings & Unsubscribe - <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug>
