I want to save .gif and .jpg pictures embedded in e-mail. When I right click
and go to save as I only have the option to save as .bmp. I have tried
putting the file name and extension in brackets "filename.gif", but to no
avail. It is still saved as a .bmp file. I have tried different settings on
the file type for opening of programs.
Please help!!

If these are HTML messages, this may apply:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;810978
Internet Explorer Saves Images As Bitmaps (.bmp Files)
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;324761
Cannot Save Images in Windows XP as JPG

You should also clear Outlook's Secure Temporary Folder:

Please note that that would only apply to Outlook Express and not Microsoft
Office Outlook ;-)
