My 92 year old mother loves the "Presto Printing Mail Box" I bought for her last Christmas.  Her friends after seeing it,  liked it so much , they went out and bought one themselves so their own adult children living all over the world could send them e-mails.

However , there is one issue I wish could be improved upon, and that is when you attach a picture, or embed an image , it prints out on a seperate page from that of the text message even if the message is very short. In an attempt to work around this issue, I've tried writing the e-mails sent to my mother's Printing Mailbox as a "word" documnet , and embedding the photos or images in the text of the word docment where I want the photo or image to appear, then saving this as a "PDF" file, and then finally attaching this to the e-mail sent to the Printing Mailbox , but when it prints out, the first page is blank , except for the subject line, and the second page then prints as the complete PDF document. This seems rather archaic for as nice of an inverntion as the Printing Mailbox is.  Is there anway to force pictures or images to be embedded right in the text line where you want them to appear so the message doesn't loose some of it's context or meaning , and also if the message is a short one, so that only one page prints out ?

I have not seen any resolutions to this issue in other blogs or forums.
