Mr.Schneider;


I  'doubt'  it is the white space between the original photos;
others have sent multiple photoss without the  'blank'  
text file listed as an Url.

It  'may'  have something to do with the  'client'  you use to send
email;  do you send with  MS-Word?

If I use a client like Opera or Thunderbird my spell check  'sometimes'
picks up computer code;  this is never seen as text but is hidden from
view.  It deals with fonts, colors, spacing, and many other  'behind the
scenes'  codes.  Other times the text of the sender is in a frame
making editing tricky.

These are little  'idiosyncrancies'  or  'incompatibilities'  between programs;
these exist because it is an Imperfect world  --  just impossible to
cover all bases.  When the Url file size is 9-bytes and I see  'ecart'  near
the endof the Url I know it is not a binary.

Mr.Brashear has set up a beautiful system here;  images are kept on his
server in his house.  They do not float around in cyberspace.  He did this
to protect us from virus infections which 'can be' embedded or somehow
attached to photos.  When we click on the Url we activate his server in his
house (repetition makes a point)  to view the same.  These Urls always appear
at the very bottom of the email.  If the email has been quoted many times
since originally sent then it is a long way down to the end to find the photos
but I have always found they are there.
