-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Picture Attachments

When you open a picture or video clip in Windows Media or other media 
software such as photo editors the software opens it from the folder it is 
located in.  In your case that would be the temp folder or temp cache used 
by your email client since that is where the picture resides before you save 
it.  Therefore, when you browse through the pictures or other files it finds 
the other files in the temp area and will display them in the same order as 
they are sorted by the software or by your operating system rather than the 
order listed in the attachment list.

In order to view them the way you are expecting to view them you must save 
them to a folder on your hard drive and open them from there.

FWIW In the preview pane, Outlook Express will display attached pictures in 
the message body if your security settings permit it too.
