I did not realize that this could be done in mutt! However, I tried this out and it did not work. I composed a message and then attached a jpeg file which was listed in the compose menu as: -- Attachments - I 1 /tmp/mutt-cjsa2-102-11172-13795190124143 [text/plain, 7bit, 0.1K] A 2 Image.jpg [image/jpeg, base64, 367K] I toggled the jpeg to inline: -- Attachments - I 1 /tmp/mutt-cjsa2-102-11172-13795190124143 [text/plain, 7bit, 0.1K] I 2 Image.jpg [image/jpeg, base64, 367K] And then sent the message to someone using Outlook on Windows XP. Unfortunately, the message still appears to the recipient as a text message with and attached jpeg file rather than displaying the image inline with the message. Is there something obvious that I am missing? Regards, -- Jeff
