Peculiar Problem
 

When sending a picture I drag a drop it to the email. I do this from either
Picasa or Outlook Express. As a test I sent some pictures to self.



I received the email and clicked on the picture's icon in "Attach" to view.
If I continue clicking on "Next Image, Right Arrow" (the blue button at the
bottom left hand side of the picture I'm viewing) a multitude of 'pictures'
ALSO show.



These pictures are from web locations I've viewed previously but not
necessary opened.



As a test:

(1) I deleted the 'extra' pictures (a round about procedure).

(2) The following day I read new articles and visited new web sites with
pictures, which I may or may not have clicked on.

(3)The following day, I reviewed the original email and picture. The
picture in the email had now accumulated the more recent pictures from the
new web sites that were visited.



This phenomenon occurs to photographs I've *received* in emails from others.



Temporary internet pictures are being continually added.

The 'pictures' in Recycle are identified as:

C:\Documents and Settings\Name\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5.

(GIF's, JPEGs, PNG's, .)



Why and how are these temporary internet files continually being 'picked up'
and accreted to my emails and photos?



Any ideas?

That's a feature of Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (WPFV)

When you open any attachment within OE it saves a temporary copy in the
Internet Explorer Temporary Internet Files (TIF), then launches the
appropriate program (based on the Windows File Associations) passing the
name of the saved attachment.

Once the WPFV is started, the next and previous buttons will cycle
through any other files in the same folder that it can handle. The same
thing will happen if you double click any image in any other folder on
your PC. WPFV will cycle through all the pictures in the folder.

As for the TIF, its primary function is to be a cache of everything that
IE needs to render a web page. So pretty much everything IE handles
(HTML, images, non-steaming videos, non-streaming audio, etc.) will get
downloaded into the TIF before IE renders it. It stays there until it's
eventually purged on a first-in-first-out basis.

Thank you for your clarity, Michael.

So this is a typical occurrence?

We don't want to get rid of WPFV.

We think this is something new? We would prefer not to include these
temporary 'garbage' images when sending our pics.

Is there a way to reduce or eliminate the number of temporary images being
downloaded/handled/saved and from being sent out with our pics?

If we clear the Cache before we send the images will that eliminate the
'garbage' images from going as well? That is a time consuming resolution to
an irritating situation? Is there a more simple process?

Only the pictures that you select are sent with the email.
The temporary pictures are on the computer that receives you email.

When you look at the message, the attachment line will list the actual
pictures sent or received.

The issue that you are having is a display only issue at your end. When
you use WPFV, and then you use the next/prior function, you will see
more images than where attached to the message. WPFV has absolutely
nothing to do with what is sent or received.

Appreciate your explanations which add to our understanding of WPFV and IE.
