Based on the info in the message below, I came up with a work around when
forwarding a message.

1 open the message.
2 click forward.
3 cursor to the bottom of the message.
4 hold down the enter key to add a page worth of empty space there.
5 click on the picture and hold the left mouse button down.
6 drag the picture to the empty space and release the button.
7 cursor up to a line above the blue vertical line.
8 carefully start hitting the delete key.
9 the empty frames will disappear and the picture will bubble up to fill
the space left. Keep an eye on your picture to make sure you don't delete it.
if you do hit the undo button till it returns.
10 put the cursor at the lower right corner of the picture but outside the
picture.
11 hit the delete key till the empty space below the picture is gone.

Sounds involved but becomes intuitive after doing it a couple of times.

The four-headed arrow indicates that you are in a message composition
window which means that you have started a reply or forward of the
message. The cursor means that you can drag the picture elsewhere in
the message. And since your are in the message composition window, you
can delete the picture.

I'm receiving emails that have pictures in them. These mails have a
vertical
blue line running down the left hand side. As I scroll down the page,
I see
the cursor change from an arrow to one with four little arrows
pointing
north, east, south, and west. When I click on it , I get a frame
around the
picture. I could understand one but, as I scroll down the page I get
one
after another, sometimes as many as 10. It' like they are different
layers.
If I delete any one of them, the picture disappears. Is there a way to
reduce
these multiple frames to just one?

Thanks, Jim


.

Bruce. I just tried this and it worked perfectly. Sure beats my involved work
around above. Thanks

What if you:

1: Get rid of the quote line. (Vertical blue line)
2: highlight & delete text
3: Put the cursor above the picture, (the only thing left), and Backspace
it to the top.

Does this accomplish what you want to do?

To remove the quote line, click Forward. Click on the Source button at the
bottom. If not already the View | Source Edit.

In the coding above the message, look for any instance of BLOCKQUOTE,
usually in purple. Highlight the entire string within the & marks.
There may be more than one for each line. Here is an example of what to
delete:

BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px;
MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"

I removed the quote line and that made a big difference. Problem is there was
also another thinner, vertical black just to the right of the quote line and
I don't know what to look for in the source code.

That other line must be from how the pix were inserted. Those must have
been "joined at the hip" and inserted as one just as your OP surmises. I
don't think you can do anything about that in the coding and will have to
save the pix in that situation.
