I guess I should not complain as the cover image IS INSIDE the converted book. But I'm curious why the message appears. More detail:

I copied some text and a cover images to a rtf files and saved them. I converted the rtf files to mobi for use on the kindle3. Inside the books I see the following "Conversion of WMF images is not supported." It then suggests (again, in the contents of the mobi book) that html be used.

I add the metadata to the front of the book.

But the converted book has the metadata at the book's beginning and shows the cover that I pasted into the metadata but then shows that message and then the generic Calibre "bookshelf" image. So obviously the IMAGE was converted and incorporated in the metadata portion of the book but I gather it does not "respect" it as an official cover?
