If you have a message with a picture whose filename contains a "blank" and
you right-click on the picture and select "save" the "blank" is replaced by
"%20", trivial you might say. It's tedious to rename them when saving.

As in all previous versions if you have an email with a picture attachment
with a filename containing "%20" (or any "%" code) the picture will not
display on preview or upon opening, as this bug spreads eventually NO
pictures will display in OE because most will contain %20 codes.

As I save MANY pics from emails this was enough for me to uninstall IE7 and
I can't even report the bug!

IE7 is still Beta and is not associated with Outlook Express as previous
editions of IE were.

Beta testers of IE7 Public Preview are asked to post their comments to:

It isn't really a bug. %20 is a space.

Sorry, I have installed/reinstalled IE7 - it is associated - it happens with
IE7 installed - it doesn't without it installed.

Thanks for the posting link, official feedback via "connect" has been shut
down!

I'm quite aware of that - I want a space to appear in the filename like it
used to "file name.jpg" not File%20name.jpg" - try sending/receiving an
email with the 2 different versions of the name and see what the difference
is in outlook Express, both in Preview and in an opened email.

It's like return to DOS when literal file names were not allowed, imagine
going back to 8 characters!
