Save as type

[Q]

I have installed Outlook 2003. When there is an inbedded
picture to save the picture the only type available is
bmp. How can I add jpg, gif, etc. to the down drop
options?

You can create a macro for this (adjust the SaveAsFile location if desired);

Sub SaveAttachment()
Dim objCurrentItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim colAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim objAttachment As Outlook.Attachment

Set objCurrentItem = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
Set colAttachments = objCurrentItem.Attachments

For Each objAttachment In colAttachments
objAttachment.SaveAsFile ("C:\" & objAttachment.FileName)
Next

Set objAttachment = Nothing
Set colAttachments = Nothing
objCurrentItem.Close (olDiscard)
Set objCurrentItem = Nothing

End Sub
