Re: Problem with attachments

It won't necessarily be displayed at the bottom of an OE recipient's
message. It depends on their settings. If they have disabled the
setting via the registry, then it won't be displayed. Not may OE users
have likely done that. A more common case, if they are using Windows XP
SP2 or Windows 2003 SP1 and selected Tools, Options, Read, Read All
Message In Plain Text, then the image won't be displayed automatically
either.

Bottom line, you don't really control what's going to happen on the
recipient's end.

If you are going to send a form that the recipient will print and then
use, I would recommend Adobe Acrobat PDF format. It is widely used for
that purpose. They would need the Acrobat Reader to print it, but many
people already have that. And the print function as the nice feature of
scaling the printout to fit the printer regardless of the paper size and
printer margins. You'll need a PDF generation program. Acrobat's is
nice, but pricey. There are a number of free and shareware ones that
are adequate for occasional use. For some sample programs, see:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=pdf+writer
The program installs as a "printer". In your desired application (Word
processor, graphic design, whatever) you print to the PDF program
printer and it intercepts the output and creates the PDF file.

If sending an image file (e.g. JPG or GIF), the ability to scale the
image to the printer is dependent on whatever program they might be
using to view the image. You can't count on that feature.
