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.

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. Outlook 2003 and up; 32 and 64-bit supported. |
Livemail was twice the email client that outlook is.But they made it obsolete.
Outlook is just bad & it's sad, just ask my Dad.
I use Thunderbird to assemble and send my emails, because it works best for what I need.. I convert each page to a JPG file when I can.. I use a blind carbon copy to save as my sent files because I send with different email clients. I delete the sent folders - the BCC is my uniform record of emails sent. Until just today, the emails with all pages as a JPG always came back in the display looking normally. Now they are attachments.I have paid yahoo email and use pop3. They only logical conclusion I can come up with is that an automatic update of my Outlook 2010, or changes in Yahoo mail caused this new problem. My settings are the same as they have always been. I have had my yahoo account too many years now to change to another email provider if that was a suggested solution. - I would lose valuable emails from sources that I would not be able to contact of a change.
