Answer» Is there a willing 'expert' out there to whom I can explain the details, which are a bit complex and lengthy, not to mention paradoxical.post em and we'll see what we can doThere are (received) emails consisting of text plus graphics. If I SELECT ALL and paste into WORD, the text appears, but only rectangles for the graphics. Whether or not I can paste individual graphics into the rectangles, is variable, but usually not. Then paradoxically, there are emails where I can paste graphics from a received into a new email ONLY after pasting first into WORD, then recopying from Word. I think it GETS more complicated than even that - that is why I listed 'complex' along with 'paradoxical' and that is where I have to owe you further 'detail'.If the original email has the image actually embedded into it you will be able to copy and paste it without a problem. If the image is really only linked to it, then you may have difficulty. Have you tried saving the images to an alternate location and then just embedding it from there?I am talking about emails in Outlook Express - so emails stored locally, not necessarily able to acces the internet for embedded links. Try this...right clik any image in an email you want to save...select Save As...and give it a destination folder...if it won't save then it's out there somewhere on the web which MEANS you need to have the SENDER re-send it...Patio Thank you for offering a 'workaround'; my querry was directed to getting a grasp of COPYING, rather than 'SAVING AS' (which I HAVE tried).
