Often they are "eml" types of messages.
I copy the message by highlighting and Ctrl-C, but the photos or
graphics do not
paste into a new mail frame.
I tried copying the eml attachment itself and pasting, but the
graphics gets lost.
I even tried pasting the eml into WORD and no graphics.
Pasting w/o formatting does not work either.
Is there some trick to this w/o purchasing some expensive program to
handle eml ?

I have experimented with this problem in SM and the only reliable and
editable solution I've found is to use "File-Save As-File" to save the
note with images as a *.eml (type: mail file) to my Desktop. I then open
it in Outlook Express (or WinMail) and I can now edit it to my heart's
content (strip out headers, delete Blockquotes (using Source tab) and
reformat it to my liking (using Edit tab). Then I Send it from OE as a
completely cleaned-up original message.
EML (Encapsulated MaiL) is OE's native file format and it will reliably
text-encode all the images and include them. TB and SM know that
embedded images are in their mailboxes so you can always see them on
your computer but they don't encode them and mail them out as a
"multi-part message in MIME format." (The latter was created by
Microsoft.) Images that have links to other servers or if they're
attachments will be sent out properly by TB and OE. You can also save
each incoming message image separately (using the Image Zoom add-on,
http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/modifiedmisc.html#imagezoom ) and use "Insert
Image" to embed it in SM and TB. It will then be sent out as an EML
message.
SM and TB seem to read, save and sometimes create EML messages but
forwarding an incoming message with embedded images is problematic from
my experience. Unfortunately, the workarounds are unwieldy. (If you want
a seamless process, using OE is the answer.)
I have tried "Reply" with these eml messages and if you erase the address of the
replied to person(s), you can put in new addresses.
However - this leaves the entire eml "in place" and editable (is that a word?).
Works kind-a-like forwarding, but doesn't put the eml as an attachment - it
allows
one to edit the message.
EML messages usually have many boxes around them - not all are removable.
