When inserting a picture ...

[maxicomm]

Hi,

Can anyone give me a clue here on these 2 inter-related issues ??? ...

1) When I insert a transparent gif image into an email I want to send, it appears in a white backgrounded box and does not retain the transparency (am also using background image for the email and it does not show behind the inserted gif). Is this a known issue ??? I've tested the gif in both Photoshop and MS Word and in both progs it retains the transparency.

2) Is there a way to link inserted images to a web link or mailto command so that clicking on the image will induce the desired action ? If so, I've not been able to work it out yet LOL

Thanks in anticipation.

I have only tested shortly, it seems the transparency is not retained while in editor, but after you will queue or draft the message, check in the Out or Draft folder, and the transparency will be retained in message preview window.

For some reason, if you only select the image and click on the hyperlink icon to insert the hyperlink, it will only return message "Nothing selected".
As a workaround, place an empty space before the image, select both the empty space and image and click on the hyperlink icon, that will allow you to insert hyperlink.
