Email-photo attachment question for Outlook Express.?

Can someone help with emailing photos via Outlook Express?

When I attach photos to an email, the receiver also gets the full picture in the body of the email. How can I prevent this. It is my intention to send the photos only as attachments. I use Outlook Express.

Update:

Thank you. I'll try what you suggested.

    Try one of these 3 methods

    1. change the photo file extension to tif e.g. mypic.jpg to mypic.tif, then attach the file to the email as file not picture.

    To see the file extension on window explorer, open window explorer go to tools menu, options, view tab, uncheck "File extensions with known file types", click ok

    To change the file name extension, click to select the photo file, hit F2 on keyboard, change the text highlighted, hit enter and confirm new extension by clicking yes

    2. right click on the photo file, choose edit, MS paint will open the file, go to file menu, save as, choose "Save as type:", TIF (*.TIF,*.TIFF). then attach the newly saved file to email as in 1. above.

    3. if there are too many files to change, in window explorer, select the files by holding down ctrl/shift key then click the photo file name, right click on the lot choose send to, compressed (zip)folder, send the zip file as attachment.
