Messed up first try. The problem is not with Outlook Express. For a
troublesome "Cannot Find mshtml.hlp" check the MessageSource to see which
email client was used. Thunderbird has been the troublesome one. Look at
Content-ID...it should have to computer name for the source. If it contains a
..net , then you see the problem. Before IE7 the file "Save Picture As" was
saved with a .net extension. OE beginning with IE7 no longer tolerates
Thunderbird embedded files of this sort.

Try emailing a message to yourself with an embedded image and see if you
receive it correctly. I don't know why forwarding it to yourself works when
the other doesn't, so it could be due to whatever program the sender is
using.

I received an e-mail with photos embedded in the e-mail, not as
attachments.
I right-clicked on the first photo and select "Save picture as..." and
then I
get this pop-up: "The system cannot find the file specified". Any
idea
how
I can separate these photos from the e-mail and save them separately to
as
photos to a hard drive folder? Connie


On embedded images in Outlook Express 6.0 email, I am now getting the
mshtml.hlp missing file message when I right click to save an image. After
much reading it appears this file does not exist anyway. I can do a work
around by forwarding the email back to myself and then right clicking on
the
image and this works to save the image without a problem.

The only thing that has changed about my XP Professional system since this
problem started was the installation of IE8 from IE6. I had never
installed
IE7. After reading many posts on the Internet, this problem seems to have
started with IE7. I never would not have upgraded to IE8 to had security
and
support been continued for IE6. At this point I don't have a choice but to
run IE8. Is there any fix for this problem where I don't have to forward
the
email to myself or copy and paste it to Paint to save it?
