thanks for response Millie but I'm actually looking for a way to have images
to automatically load in the body of the email. A friend recently sent me an
email with 10 images of his home attached, and this was one of two such
emails he sent. To use the Preview pane I had to mouse click 11 times
(including selectlng the email initially), use the scroll button 3 times and
widen then shorten the preview pane. Alternately to open the email and then
view the images takes 2 mouse clicks to open the message, 10 more to open the
images, another to go back to the message and a last (number 14) to close the
email. I'm an old man - my Carpal Tunnel hates this.
(laughing)))
Is there no button to be clicked that merely says "View Images Within Body
Of Email"?

After furious head scratching, k2hsharpe asked:
