That's the answer I wanted thanks Matthew, I was puzzled by the rtf issue's as I could not find any attachments in the email messages received with photo and they didn't appear to be using rtf. Interesting to note the size of the message doesn't appear to be affected by photo.

Thats because the photo is not stored in the email or even referenced by the email in any way shape or form.

Mail looks to see who the sender was, and then looks up the Address Book to see if that person in there. If it is, then it displays the photo of that person, or downloads it from .mac

It is completely and entirely a function of Mail and Mac OS X and has nothing to do with the actual email.
