The reason is that rotten sods who develop viruses and Trojan horses often use a graphic to hide their code in There is a type of security called steganography that uses any graphic to hide say, passwords or stuff you do not want someone to see It doesn’t change the graphic – it looks the same but the code made to compose the graphic now holds additional code – the hidden message.

You can always attach your pics without changing to HTML – use the 'attach' icon on the taskbar

You can attach from a CD just like from the hard drive

The attaching is a function of the user (usually) so the only things that go should be those you 'attach' yourself Having said that, stranger things have happened.
