Computer help need from a Tech (and MCSE)
:) ...I had a customer ask me today if there is a way to have pictures open in E-Mail when sent.
(He has a business and wants to send email to his clients with little gifs or jpgs that will open up when the recipient opens their mail.)

I told him "I don't think so, as that would allow .EXE files to open also...opening the "door" to all kinds of viruses and Trojans"

Was I right?

I'm putting this (also) in the computer help forum....

1. I think some email programs have a way of embedding pictures
Some emails I have received have pictures open when I open the mail. It could be html though.

3. He could send the email as html
Most clients support that today. If the picture is sent as an attachment (as opposed to linking it), it should display in most email clients.
