-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Picture Attachments

Don, I was afraid that was the case, but couldn't articulate it the way 
you did.  So I would have to save each individual attachment to a 
folder, say on the desktop, look at my slideshow, then delete the folder 
(in most cases).   But regarding your last statement, how would I set it 
to do that?  I have my setting to "send" pictures embedded, but how 
would I set it to receive them that way? ~Glo

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.
