Change Encoding when Reading a message, viewing picture inside the message

[iivuch]

Hi,

Until recently I've been using Outlook Express, however, I now have
PDA and would like to synch everything with my PC. ActiveSynch does no
support Outlook express, so - I am trying to convert to Outlook now
Here are two things that I can get over with:

1. In Outlook express when reading a message, and it doesnot appea
correctly - I could go to View/Encoding and select the right encodin
for this message. With Outlook - this has moved to Format, and i
DISABLED. So - the question is - how to change the encoding?

2. With Outlook Express, If someone sends me pictures as attachment,
could preview them directly inside the body of the message, even if i
is not HTML formatted. With OUTLOOK, pictures only appear a
attachments, and I should save them to my HDD to be able to view.

I am sure there should be some tweaks or setting that I am failing t
find so far, as Outlook looks much more superiour in functionality tha
Outlook express. The question is HOW ?

Will be more than grateful to receive any help on this. These question
apply to Outlook XP

Best regards

Iva

This works with Outlook only if the message is HTML or Rich Text (native
Outlook format). Otherwise, it's an attachment. However, you don't need to
explicitly save the pictures to disk if you have an app associated with the
picture's file type. Just double-click the attchment and it will open.
