Cropped images not being saved

In Outlook XP using Word XP as the editor, I create a new email. I paste an image into the
email and then I use the crop tool to remove the parts of the image I don't need. However,
when I send the image, it does not save the image formatting and sends the whole image. As
a workaround, I can save the email as a draft and this will save the formats.
Additionally, the email size is still the same as if the image had never been cropped. Is
there a way to just crop and image and send it from within Outlook and ensure that the
edits are saved without having to save the email as a draft first? I have tried this on
three different machines and all have the same results.

Thanks

If you are using word as your editor, the recipient Outlook must also be using word as his
editor in order to view the changes. AFAIK the image is only formatted, so the whole image
file is actually attached, even though you have cropped it. Better to just crop it in MS
Paint or some other graphics util and paste it in.
