You appear to be judging the /appearance/ of saved or sent copies of HTML
messages as displayed in Sent Items and Drafts folders, according to your
second concurrent thread on this topic. Furthermore, you state that OE
"moves [converts?] some of [the] images inserted in html-based messages [to]
attachments and [then] you cannot see them at the body of message in OE."

WYSIWYG: You will see but exactly the above if you're (1) running WinXP SP2
and (2) "Read all [received, saved and saved sent] messages in Plain Text"
(Tools>Option>Read) and (3) have enabled "Block images and other external
content in *HTML mail*" [emphasis added] (Tools>Options>Security>Download
images).

And inserted images are actually carried as attachments anyway. When a
recipient receives such a message, the attachment is quickly and silently
inserted into the message body only when the message is opened.

Better to judge your sent or saved-from-Drafts HTML messages' appearance by
disabling the above security measures, thus allowing you to see what's "in"
them. With your current settings, you can and will not.

Another way to test: Do the recipients of the HTML messages see them as you
intended (assuming they don't have the above options enabled either)?
