Outlook 2003 attached jpg files
I am having a problem receiving .jpg files attached to emails. I recently set
up Outlook 2003 to be my wife's email program. We often receive emails with pictures attached in .jpg format. Instead of displaying the attachments in a list, Outlook shows them as embedded pictures and says nothing about the .jpg file. When we try to save the pictures, the only option offered is the .bmp format. I tweaked some settings related to downloading pictures, and it worked for a few days, and then reverted to the .bmp format. I use Outlook on other computers and have no such problem as this. She is running Vista. Can anyone help us set this up so we can receive the .jpg attachments? Thanks, Peter |

Outlook 2003 attached jpg files
Peter,
Try deleting the temporary internet files in internet explorer. In XP, there should be something similar if you are using Vista/Windows7: Control Panel Internet Options General tab Delete temporary internet files Check box to include offline content. There was a similar problem with Outlook Express, having *,jpg files showing up as *.bmp files a year or so ago I believe, and that was the fix mentioned for OE.. -- Add MS to your News Reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com Rich/rerat (RRR News) message rule Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate "Peter Johnson" Peter wrote in message ...

That would be a good idea if only it emptied the Outlook Secure Temp folder, but it doesn't. It can't hurt to try it, though. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
