I recently had to change from Eudora to Outlook Express as a mail program. Now,in outlook Express when I try to copy and paste any photos, I get a box with a red X in the upper right corner of the box when I send the message. Can't Outlook Express copy and paste Photos?

You have to send photos as attatchments with Outlook Express.

There's also an option to "Insert" both other documents and/or pictures. The option is at the top toolbar of OE.
