Is there any EASY way to enable viewing attched pictures in the message body
of the email I receive (Outlook 2003) ?

When I receive a pic attachment...it is only viewable by opening each pic
separately, as opposed to just scrolling down through the message and seeing
them in the body of the email ( how it was in OE).

When I looked up the help on "view attachment in body of message" I got this
technobabble :

  1.. Use the keyboard to choose the Customize Current View command (View
menu, Arrange By, Current View submenu).
  2.. Click Fields, and then click New Field.
  3.. In the Name box, type a name for the field, such as Attachment
included.
  4.. In the Type list, click Formula.
  5.. In the Format box, type:
  Iif([Attachment]=True,"Attachment","")

  6.. Click OK three times.
That's all a little too techy for me... surely there's an easier way ???

to personal/home users.  Different e-mail clients have different
features so expect what you find in one will exist in another.  Same is
true if you start using Thunderbird, Eudora, Pegasus, and so on.  They
are different.

Outlook doesn't have a preview pane in the message view as does/did
Outlook Express.  This is because it has already been proven in the past
that rendering images provides an infection vector to your host.  Not
because the e-mail client is vulnerable but because the libraries used
to display the image are vulnerable (until patched and then when the
next vulnerability shows up again you have to wait for another patch).
So Outlook eliminated the infection vector (actually, I don't recall
that an image preview was available for attachments in Outlook in any
version so they didn't eliminate it so much as they never added it).

You could save the multiple attachments into the same folder and then go
open any one of them to show in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
(right-click on an image and select that app).  Then you can simply use
the forward/reverse buttons to slide through each image that you saved
in that folder.
