I need an email program that handles attached photos like Windows Live Mail 2009 did, that is: ---Can imbed photos in body of email message, with choice of sizes ---Can put captions on/near each photo ---The same photos are also included as attachments

WLM 2009 did this very easily, with a choice of about 6 photos sizes, and a space for a caption for each picture. Microsoft is no longer supplying download of WLM 2009, later versions require use of their OneDrive, can't actually imbed photos in a message. Will Thunderbird do the above??? Thank you very much, RRDF

Any email client that supports HTML can embed pictures into a message. So yes, Thunderbird can do this. In the Write window, Insert|Image and you will see a dialogue that lets you set position size and so on. There is no faculty for a caption as such, though all embedded images have a place for "alternate text" which is intended to provide text to describe what would have been seen in situations where the image is unavailable or suppressed. Bear in mind that some users choose a plain-text, no-graphics display mode. An option for controlling the placement of a caption is to place the image in a table with the caption in an adjacent cell. Or you can "anchor" the image to the relevant text.
