Re: [users] Draw image missing in body of email

[S Perry]

I also use Yahoo and checked into what you were asking. The simple answer is 
that if you only use Yahoo's basic (free) e-mail service, then, you cannot 
paste graphics (inline graphics) into your e-mails, you may only attach them.
   
  When I looked at the HTML code for their emoticons, this is what I found: 
<IMG src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/01.gif";>. This 
means that the graphics that are available to you live on their server. I tried 
pasting several different graphic formats that work with HTML and found that 
they don't work unless they're on the Yahoo server.
   
  BTW, graphics aren't HTML, they are most usually gif or jpg/jpeg and a few 
other formats when they're used on a website. The HTML and the graphics reside 
on the host server in order for them to be visible to visitors on the Internet. 
Some ISPs provide inline graphics services, however, but not Yahoo.
   
  Consequently, the fault is not with OpenOffice.

What's causing the image (graphic), that was created in Draw, and put in an 
email
body with copy/paste, to disappear? 
Only the outline of the block where the picture (graphic) was actually
ends up in the email. I have tried many ways with different file
formats but the picture will not show in the message. A chat with a Yahoo tech 
said the image had to be in HTML. Still will not work. 
I've tried attaching the image to email to myself; then copy/paste into message 
body of new email and I have tried copy/paste from several files and docs but, 
nothing seems to work.
Attaching the picture works, but I want to insert it in the message
body like with the copy/paste so you would scroll down through the email
to see the picture.

Thanks,
