I am using Windows Live Mail and it insists on adding these borders
Around the pictures that I insert into an outgoing e-mail:
(see attached item)
This is so aggravating...

I want to remove the black horizontal line below this picture
And remove the black vertical line to the right of this picture.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I found the answer to my own question some time ago, and thought I'd post it in case others need the solution, too. (Chase)

Create a new email.
Insert an image.
Select the image to see the formatting toolbar
Select the non format to get rid of the drop shadow
Look for the "Set to default" button in the toolbar. Click it.
It should now be stored the next time you create a new image.
