Does embedding an image, in an email, debauch its appearance or quality?
My bosses and colleagues [prefer images to be embedded](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=377lDx67KHo), rather than attaching an image to an email — not least because attachments can be wrongly convicted as spam, and because it's swifter to see embedded pictures than clicking and opening many attachments. This screenshot hails from that YouTube video.- ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/377lDx67KHo/maxresdefault.jpg)
Many of my colleagues kvetch that they can't clearly see my embedded images, which appear in lower resolution and quality. But they CAN clearly see the same picture as an attachment. Why? Is my computer the issue? Microsoft Outlook?
