When I changed the jpg into bmp it stayed sharp all the way, sending and receiving.

However, when it is sent (for example: to my own address to see the result) and received, then the images resolution has been drastically reduced, leaving the image all blurred.

I set these in WordToolsOptionsGeneral E-mail optionsE-mail signature.

This is the difference: image.bmp.

Left is what is sent, right wat is received.

Ill see if I can think of something sometime this morning and get back with you.

I just want to see if it does the same thing for me through outlook.

Thanks.

However, the picture as an attachment looks just as blurry as the blurry one on the page you sent me to.

And that one should have been crystal clear if it was a problem with the picture being in the singature.

What email server are you using I wonder if somethings setup in the server itself to compress images.

Does this happen if you send it via a different email server (like gmail or some other pop service) Itd be interesting to see so that we can narrow it down from being an Outlook vs.

Im going to poke around Outlook and see if theres anything that might do that.

Ill look at Word options too to see if they snuck in a funky option there.

All I can find about my server are my internet E-mail settings (POP3) are pop3.concepts-ict.nl and smtp.concepts.nl.

In other words, the default ISP configuration.

I sent the signature-image to dopyiiigmail.com.

The image is invisible but it is there it seems, when the area is highlighted.

Ron. PS. I get: Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: dopyiiigmail.com.

I was just curious to see if you were running your own mail server and if youd tweaked some setting somewhere that I dont know about;) If you need a different account to send through, I can invite you to gmail (I have some invites).

Bascially, my thought is that if you send your email with the picture through a different system (other than your ISPs mail system), maybe well see a different result.

It implies that if its set to anything but None, itll compress stuff.

This is for 2003, but I think its similar on 20022000 (if youre not running 2003).

I wouldnt want to permanently hook Outlook to gmail since this concerns my business.

Strange: I cannot see what format the returning image has, nor copy it.

Can you.

Ill get back to you, or hopefully someone will have a flash of inspiration and tell us what the deal is:).

This didnt happen before; then it happened only upon sending.
