Actually you can. When the messages with images are opened, then they all
get put into the Temporary Internet Files folder and OE references them from
there. Their filenames do not represent the attachment filenames however,
so you would have a hard time finding them. Also they are deleted when OE
is closed.

Ok Thanks

Too bad. Sometimes I can recover email attachments in Outlook by using the
temp folders and a graphics thumbnailing program like ThumbsPlus. Just was
wondering about if such could be done for the OutlookExpress. Apparently
not.

All attachments are embedded and encoded in the original message. Each
newsgroup has a corresponding DBX file holding all the messages for that
newsgroup.

DBX files are not in a format that is easily accessible outside of OE.

Where are the newsreader graphics temp files stored? I know where they
are in MS Outlook but cant find them in the Outlook Express. When I read
a NG message with binary attachments they take a while to load but then
when I go back to that message they load very fast, indicating that they
binarp graphic files are being stored somewhere on my computer. I am
assuming that they stay on the system in a temp file but maybe not, and
maybe they are dumped after exiting. (I know that MS Outlook does not do
a dump unless it is done manually)

I found that the NG subscriptions are inthe identites folder under local
settings, Would have thought hat there would have been a temp folder
undr that but not so.


Any help would be appreciated.
