Why then when I use outlook express email messages that contain photo
attachments are displayed in the message, no need to open up any other
programs, however outlook wont allow me to do this. It displays the
attachments as icons which I have to open up individually.

to scroll thru all the attached photos inside my viewer, following
arrows forward and back. Pls let me know when this capability is
available.

It's available now if you save all the pictures to a folder and view them
from there. Pictures in a mail message are not on disk until they are
opened for viewing so there's no way any viewer will be able to show you
attachments you haven't opened yet.

Because Outlook and Outlook Express are two different programs written by
two different product groups for two different types of users.

Perhaps a thumbnail image when reading the email would be useful? Browsing
attatchments should be like browsing through an ordinary folder.
