Compression of pictures inserted in Outlook messages

[morten.skarstad]

When inserting an image (such as a screen shot) directly into Outlook
messages, I often experience that the images appear to be compressed
using some lossy codec, probably JPEG. This results in simple images
taking more space than necessary, and the picture quality is crap.

Is there some way I can make Outlook compress images in a more
appropriate way, such as PNG?

I should probably mention that the version I am using is 2003 SP2.
