Outlook Express displays image attachments at the bottom of the message and
many users miss it when they switch to Outlook, because it doesn't support
viewing images inline, and you need to open each image to view it.
By
design, Outlook only shows images "inline" (in the message body) when the
message is sent using HTML with embedded images or RTF formatting with OLE
embedded images. Images in plain text mail items are listed as attachments
(that you can open or save). Attachments to plain text messages are not
displayed in the message body, as they are in Outlook Express.
Outlook
MVP Eric Legault shows you how to create a picture viewer in these two articles:
View thumbnails of image attachments, run a slideshow of attached picture files without to saving the attachments to disk. Quickly save all attachments to a folder or easily export every attachment in every message in the current folder. Preview image attachments as you add them to a new e-mail message, view the extended file properties of images that were taken with a digital camera (camera model, date picture taken, exposure time, etc.) Works with all common image files. Supports Vista and optimized for Outlook 2007. Version 2.
Preview Microsoft Outlook email attachments without leaving Outlook, even if you do not have the creating software installed. Instantly access attached documents, spreadsheets, audio files and more than 100 file types.
OutlookAttachView scans all messages stored in Outlook and displays a list of all attached files that it finds. You can select one or more attachments and save all of them into the desired folder, as well delete unwanted attachments. You can also save the list of attachments into xml/html/text/csv file. Version 1.05.
