Hi Brianm

I too have the same question. So basically if my sister in Hawaii send me
photos as attachments (she has a Mac), I'm going to have to click each one
open, right? There aren't any preferences in Outlook that I can set to
receive .jpgs or .gifs already open and displayed in the email?

Thanks. My email is

Denise

Hi. As a new XP Pro user, I am unable to view photos in the text box,
whether I'm sending or receiving them. This results in my having to
open each photo separately to view them. Could someone kindly tell me
how to change the view in Microsoft Office Outlook to enable me to
view photos when I open, or compose an email with digital photo
attachments.

Attachments in Outlook are never displayed unless you open them. Embedded
images, however, will appear in the body of the message, but that's a
process only the sender can do. In other words, there is no option in
Outlook to make it behave like Outlook Express and show attachments in line.

To compose a message with images in line, you must use Word, compose in HTML
and use InsertPicture to embed the image in the message.
