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.


Deleted when OE is closed or when the message is closed?
FWIW I would check with FileMon filtering on Temp.

In the case of .doc attachments they are deleted (from the TIF) when
the OE message window they were launched from is closed.
BTW that suggests that when an attached file is erroneously updated
by a Word user the update might be at least somewhat recoverable,
e.g. provided the launching OE message window was closed *before*
the last Save was done from Word.

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.
