OK, here's a test of Kerry's procedure, using GMail's editor (the Insert Graphic procedure is trivially different: Select the "mountain range" in the formatting toolbar just above the edit field): [image: Inline image 1]

That probably WILL work on the Phorum.

Thanks, Kerry. I'll try to remember to use that method for the sake of the sado-masochists who insist on using the Phorum instead of GMail -- wouldn't want to be accused of not being PC by discriminating against them. Smile

Please let me know if it works.

Ken,

I don't think anybody expects the email users to do anything different than they have in the past. Kerry just provided a way for forum users to imbed the link to a picture within the post, and forum users to see it. In order for email users to access the picture, I demonstrated a way of including the URL seperately, and in addition to, the link to the photo (the photo link part will be stripped off somewhere between the forum and the mail server, no biggie).
I don't know what character sequences email clients and servers remove from email notes, but all Kerry's procedure does is encase the URL of the picture with "img" tags. That is an open square bracket "[" the sequence "img" a close square bracket "]" URL open square bracket "[" slash "/" "img" close square bracket "]". Obviously the data tagged that way is removed somewhere going between the forum server to the email server, or the email server to the client(s). Don't know what would happen between the email client and the email server, or the email server and the forum server, so I wouldn't have expected anyone to jump through any hoops to try to duplicate the behavior via email.
