[QUOTE="visualpurple, post: 683873, member: 27500"] the picture is only seen by people who are also using the Mail program. Someone who opens an email from you in Hotmail won't see the picture. Also, even if someone else is using a Mac and opens a message from you in Mail, the picture is replaced by whatever one they have associated with you in their address book. That is, they might have given your address book card (if they even have one for you) a perfectly decent photo; that's the one they would see. You're seeing the demented photo in emails you send to yourself because that's the photo associated with your own address book card on your computer. So basically no one will ever see that photo on an email from you. I don't know how to stop Mail from showing the photos (other than just not associating a photo with a contact), but if you want to change the photo, drag a new one into your entry in Address Book (you can also do it through System Preferences).
