Outlook receiver doesn’t see the image

Situation: The user reports this problem. When he send an email with image inserted, the receiver doesn’t see the image. instead, they see this:

Troubleshooting: Repair Outlook on Sender’s computer.

Just wanted to let you know I found the answer:

“What you are experiencing is “ By Design”.

When replying to messages in Rich Text format, embedded images in the message body, including signature are removed and replaced by the following text:

<< OLE Object: Picture (Device Independent Bitmap) >>

This behavior does not occur in Microsoft Outlook 2003 with Word as the editor, which is the available comparable configuration in Microsoft Outlook 2007 or 2010.

Workaround:

=======

Reply in HTML rather than RTF format; however, this is not at the discretion of the original sender, but of the replier”

I was set-up to reply in Rich Text by default, but when I switch to HTML it is in all the replies!
