Is the photo/picture just for people for bad memories? I'd hoped that my
e-mails would use it; any thoughts?

In Outlook 2003, it's cosmetic.

Actually, it has a very good use. If you sync your Outlook Contacts with a
Windows Mobile Smartphone, the photo gets synced to the phone. Then, when a
person whose photo you have calls you, the phone does a caller ID screen pop
with the photo (normally it's just the name if it's a Contact, or just the
phone number if not). For those of us who are ... shall we say ... of a
certain vintage, whose up-close eyesight isn't what it used to be, this is a
very nice feature.

But then you're no longer taking about Outlook 2003. I still contend that
in Outlook 2003, it's cosmetic.
