Re: A Transferred Attachment

Don,
I've read many posts that state attachments are the one thing that isCool! I've been wondering about this. Clicking on the blue Messages button under the picture, took me to aSpeculation on my part, but maybe it wasn't an attachment. You don't say what you mean by "associated with", but if the photo was an image inline in the HTML message body there are at least three forms it could take: cid: - a traditional attached image file http: - a "remote" image hosted somewhere on the internet data: - an inline image file If you can still access that message in the Y!Group it came from, looking at the View Source there may tell you what type this was. You'd be looking for something of the form <img src="cid:...."> "cid" means content identifier, and that's used when the image file is located in an attachment to the message. This type of image I would expect not to have been copied over, because it is an attachment. "http" means a web file - the image isn't attached to the message but is instead loaded from some web server somewhere. This type of image I would expect to come through fine, but not end up in the Emailed Photos Album - I'd be amused to know if it did. "data" means that the file is encoded right there, inline in the HTML of the message body. This is the case I think might be in your message. In which case if you look at the view source you'll see a large (or large-ish) block of base64 encoded data in the message body. Because this was not an attached file, but data in the message body itself I would expect it to copy over intact. Looking at the View Source at Groups.io might not answer the question. I think images get special treatment when posted or transferred in and that would likely invalidate the evidence.
