<POP!> You just opened a can of worms! =o) Erm, firstly what is the name of
this "external e-mail reader"

secondly, yes it is probably something to do with fixed fonts, but on your end.

Thirdly, e-mail works on different levels, 7Bit, 8Bit, Mime and others. If all
else fails. You could always resort to uuencoding the picture and getting the
user on the other end to view it via a text editor. Although that would be
pretty naff and a very useless way of doing it.

Dang, I was no help...I'll shut up now. =o(
