Send Emails with Images with Web Link and not Attached in Outlook

 

You want to be able to send an email with images linked to your website but Outlook keeps attaching the images as well. There is a way to fix this problem.

 

To include inline images in emails without attaching them in Outlook do the following.

Select Tools | Options... from the menu in Outlook.
Go to the Mail Format tab.
Click Internet Format.
Make sure When an HTML message contains pictures located on the Internet, send a copy of the pictures instead of the reference to their location is not checked.
Click OK.
Click OK again.
Make sure the image is accessible over the internet.
Place it on your web site, for example.
Note the URL of the image.
You could drag and drop the image from your internet browser.
Insert the image inline in an email in Outlook.
Make sure you do not use the Browse... button but paste the URL under Picture source instead.
Continue editing the message and send it to the mailing list or individual recipient.
