Low quality images in Pegasus Mail

[quote user="Thomas R. Stephenson"]

Am I doing something wrong here?

Yes, images from the windows copy/paste buffer are not the same as the images entered via the right click "Import picture file"  or the "Insert a picture" graphic icon. You'll get a low-res PNG file instead of the actual graphic type you used in the graphic.

Thanks, Thomas

Well, I can understand that, but what I do not understand is why the graphics are displayed so well using copy and paste when the mail message is being composed, and then the result is so poor in the version that is received. It's quite misleading when you think the recipients will see the same message that you see when you are composing it.

It would be useful if there was a warning message stating that pasted graphics will be converted, and that the quality may be affected.

Cheers!

Hello

When I send images the quality shown in the message I am writing is nowhere near as clear as the image that is received. Look at this screenshot:

You can see the difference between the message being composed on the left and the message received on the right.

I created the message in Word 2003, then copied the contents of the document and pasted it into Pegasus Mail using the Paste Special option to paste 'Formatted text, including styles and pictures if present'.

This caused me quite a problem as I wanted staff to see this:

and they were unable to see it. 

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks
