But a Microsoft can do this.
Microsoft Email
Server - strip off
images, send message
with bulky image replaced
with link to Skydrive
snipped


Paul,
That's not how it works.
The user has the option to attach, insert, drag/drop or create photo email
(only the latter uploads to the signed on MSFT account SkyDrive - no sign
on, no cloud upload

I use WIN8 on a desktop, my wife has WIN RT on a tablet. I send her an
email. She sees no pictures only square boxes with red crosses in the
corner. How can she get a WLM icon on her desktop to use WLM like i do and
not as an app? Will that make a difference


You can't (get the WLM icon)
No, it won't make a difference

WLM is a desktop email client and included in Windows Essentials 2012.
- can be installed on Windows 7 editions and Windows 8 editions (Windows 8,
Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8 Surface)
- cannot be installed on Windows RT (RT only supports MSFT Store apps and
third party apps included by the pc manufacturer)

Thus you are in the correct newsgroup...if the problem is occurring on
Windows 8 RT

Thanks for that Winston, I've re-sent the email with the jpg attached rather
than dragged onto the email body. When she is next 'playing' with her
'Surface' I will see what happens and let you all know. Thanks for all your
help and interest.

This isn't an issue with Windows 8, the topic of this newsgroup. For
help focused on WLM, that has its own newsgroup at:
microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop


Actually the issue is Windows 8 (not WLM)
- Windows Live Mail doesn't install on Windows 8 RT

i.e. the problem would be central to:
- Windows 8
- Windows 8 mail app (Windows Mail)
- ISP or web client receiving the email (using Active Exchange Sync or IMAP)


So you're saying the OP's wife couldn't be using WLM as he claimed.
That's why I wondered if she was using something else, like Mail that
comes with Windows 8. I forgot that Windows [Surface] RT only lets you
install apps from the Microsoft Store and, per your comment, WLM isn't
offered there.

I haven't even bothered to look at Surface (Pro or RT).

I meant "an icon" but the spell checker couldn't care less :-)


Do we really want software that "cares"? :-)
Along with caring, we'll probably get attitudes.

I can picture my GPS saying, "I'm done with all of this recalculating. You
figure it out."


Now that I've stopped laughing, I want to say this: I wish my GPS
*would* do that!

Correct.
WLM can't be installed on Windows 8 Surface RT.
- Surface RT uses and ARM processor (Nvidia Tegra 3) - only apps from
the Store including those provided/pre-installed.
- Surface Pro uses an Intel i5 processor and supports user installed
desktop applications, pre-installed MSFT Store apps and MSFT store apps.
WLM (a component of Windows Essentials) is strictly a desktop application.

Correct WLM 2009 (part of Windows Live Essentials 2009 can be used on
XP, Vista, Win7, Win8).

My above comments referenced and stated the Windows Live Mail (part of
Windows Essentials ***2012*** could be installed on Win7, Win8, Win8
Pro, and Win8 Surface [Pro]).

Since Win8 Surface RT was the point of discussion the fact that WLM2009
installs on XP is not relevant. No version of WLM will install on a
Surface RT.
