Default Cannot paste images from web?

If I right-click copy on a image in IE and try to paste the image into a
html format email instead of the image I get a small icon with a red X.

If I do it on Outlook 2003 it paste into a new msg just file. Strangely if
I copy/paste the image from the Outlook 2003 draft msg into a new msg in
Windows Mail it works fine.

Some sort of security block at work here I suppose.

I don't know why it would work at all. You can't copy and paste images in
WinMail. The image has to have a filename to be referenced and embedded, so
use Insert | Picture instead of trying to copy and paste them. Outlook will
do that, but OE and WinMail won't.

I don't know what to say to that other than in OE you could copy and paste
all the text and pictures from a web page into a html format email message
and in Windows Mail the images are not pasted. I thought it worked great,
and still works great in Outlook 2003.

If you are pasting HTML code it will work, but you cannot just copy a
picture onto the clipboard and then paste it.

No, turn off the Block Images in the Security tab

Tools | Options | Security tab

Should work just fine then. Buggy that you have to do it to be able to see
it and defeats the general purpose of it.
