Web Images

I'm about to send out a mailing (newsletter made in Word 2003, to be sent out
via Outlook 2003). I would like to include some graphic elements (e.g.
company logo) in the newsletter. I have sent a draft of the newsletter and I
have noticed that the graphic are sent as attachment. Any possibility to
avoid this (e.g. by putting the images on our website)? Or is that not
recommended? Maybe a more simple way?

I think you can do this if you link in the graphics (rather than embed them)
into the Word document. See this newsgroup discussion with "Gary" from a couple
of years ago:
