Purely out of interest, discussing Microsoft/Mozilla products...

I also use my Mozilla Firefox Browser to receive, and send, my E-Mail. Unfortunately, when composing Mail, it doesn't contain the option to insert Pictures, .gif animations, etc within the Text!...
They are always sent as "Attachments"..... Cry

...!

For that, I have to use Outlook Express, which does include the option to "INSERT" Images within the Text, at the cursor position... Smiley

...!

Paul..Inserting images within Text is fun... Smiley

I don't have a choice.. My bank and brokerage accounts can't be accessed online with anything but IE.. which leaves me hesitant to shop online with an alternate browser... and I don't feel like having to stop and think what browser I might need, when I start surfing...So I keep it simple and use IE... Cool
