Forwarding message with a photo attached

[pelican]

When I try to forward a message that has a photo attached, the message
is sent but no photo. Is this typical of gmail? Is there some way to
request that the attachments be included? I could not find anything on
the page or in the menus that could be appropriate. Any information on
this will be appreciated.

That's the way Gmail does it, perhaps unfortuantely. In order to send the photos, you'll have to download them and attach them.

As I have said in response to other such laments, Google is bugs on the subject of graphics (or images).  If anybody knows of any way to get any kind of photo, illustration, emoticon, etc. into G-mail, please let all of us know.  I have tried all sorts of ways and struck out.  One other possibility exists in reference to Ryan's advice that you have to download a photo and send it as an attachment.  You might be able to combine text and photo somewhere as a combined folder, save the combination folder to My Documents, and then send the combination as an attachment.  I don't know if that works, because when I have to get an illustration and text to an editor, I send them separately.  Has anybody tried the combination?  If so, in G-mail or some other mail system? - Wolfeman

Well, you can copy and paste them in, but that's tedious if you do it often. :)

Thanks for your replies. I have downloaded the photos and added them
as attachments. It works. However, if there are words between each
photo or graphic, they are just lumped together at the top and the
photos or graphics are lumped together at the bottom.

I appreciate knowing that I am not doing something wrong. Guess I will
look at some other mail boxes.

I forward messages with photos all the time. Make sure when you compose the message, the boxes are checked next to the files in the attachment area.

I tried that, Ryan.  As soon as I pasted an image into the gmail, the system froze.  It would not send.  I deleted the image and addressed the gmail to myself to see if that is the difference, and off it went.  Maybe that was just the way it worked at that time.  Now that you tell me it is possible, I will try it again sometime.  But not tonight! - Wolfeman

I'll have to do some exploration into this as well. It could be that the images have to be on a web host because Gmail might just be putting in an img tag with whatever the source of the image you copied in happens to be, which would mean that for local images (on your computer) the person receiving them will not be able to see them.

Sorry for the double post, but I forgot to add that even if that was the case, it should have frozen the system. I'll bet that was a random glitch. :)

I did as you say you did and nothing happened.

I don't have the slightest idea of what a "random glitch" is and doubt
my old dictionary will have either.
But it would be helpful if this possibility existed - for those who
send text+pics a lot , anyway.

That was meant as a reply to rhlobo's.

When forwarding a message with a photo attached make sure that photo(s)
have a check in the box next to them. They will send then. I have had
no problem forwording an email to another of my emails and that
picture(s) is there.

[marciaBR]

"They will send then."

but this is not the ppoint, Beth. I was trying to paste a pic on a
message - that's not working for me.

Ok, I misunderstood.
