Thanks for the tip, phoneguy. There are, however, a couple of problems with this approach. 1st, that establishes whatever you create as the default style for any new HTML message you write. I don't always want that for HTML messages; I want to be able to pick it if I want it. I didn't try this, but it may be that you can create it, and after it's saved, uncheck the HTML box, and then be able to manually select it (i.e., it ceases to come up by default). Second, the picture I'd most like to use is of Delaware's tall ship, the Kalmar Nyckel. It was sent to me in jpg format. When I use it as the picture, it covers 80% of the message width. I want it to be like the Dolphins stationery, where the picture is small and in the upper left corner. There may be a way to reduce the size of a jpg picture, but I'm not aware of how. I tried reducing the size to 25% using MS Photo Editor, and saving it, but when I put it in the message, it's still full size. If there's a way to reduce the picture, I'd be interested in using it. I thought about saving it to a gif format (which can be reduced at will), but when you try to save to a different format, the only ones offered are jpg or bmp (bit-mapped).
Do you know how I can get around these issues?
