Sandi, I help moderate a small stationery group, so I use HTML a lot. BUT...I also use plain text even more. So, if you are using OE I can suggest the following: I run W98, IE/OE5.5. I keep my settings on plain text ALL THE TIME. If I want to send stationery, I don't change my settings, I just go to Message>New Message Using> and select my stationery from that list or go on down to the Select Stationery which takes you into OE's stationery folder and choose from there. The only time I ever change my settings is in the event I wish to forward an HTML/Stationery/RTF message exactly as it was sent to me. And after sending, I change it back to plain text as fast as humanly possible, LOL. If you want to embed a graphic into your message, since you are in plain text...you ARE in plain text right? heheh With your new message open, just go up to Format>Rich Text (HTML). You will see your plain text message become RTF. Now after addressing etc, click once in the body of the message. Choose the icon that looks like a post card on the far right of the middle menu bar. When you hover your mouse over it, a pop-up menu tells you it is to "insert picture". Click that and browse to where you stored the image you want to send. You will get a window with some choices, you can pick the way you want the image to be displayed, IF you want to. You can have it set on the left and the text will flow around it, and so forth. HTH and if I can help you more, just give me a holler.

Thanks Connie--I really like using stationery so I may not like this plain text stuff. And I just got started using my scanner to send pictures to the kids. Oh well, guess we can't have it both ways.
