I still suspect that they can't easily be discriminated against without serious risk of losing something AES might want to receive. I repeat my original suggestion; just ignore them. HDs are big enough these days. If they really disturb you, then have an occasional clearout. They probably always have the same name, or do a Spotlight search on '.gif', although that could just get messy... And delete them from time to time. -- Peter

I frequently receive messages with images (.gif, .jpg, .png, etc.) that are displayed inline with the text but they *are* attachements. -- Tom Stiller PGP fingerprint = 5108 DDB2 9761 EDE5 E7E3 7BDA 71ED 6496 99C0 C7CF

It could be they are simply images hosted on some web server somewhere. Perhaps you should place a sample message online so we can examine it to see exactly what you are talking about. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts. JR

I call the first situation "embedded", the second "attached". So far as I know, if I do both of these with the same source file, then *two* copies of the image or document are transmitted when I send the message. Only certain formats can be embedded: JPEG, PDF, and GIF can be, TIFF can't be. You can select an embedded object and delete it with the Delete key; attachments can only be deleted by selecting them and using the Edit >> Clear menu command (at least, so far as I know). I can attach the same file twice in the Attachments: header. So far as I know, two copies are then sent. (I think I can embed a file twice also, and two cc will be sent.) |
