HTML w/Images Email

[bernie]

I created an HTML email that included an image. When
I "View Source" of the email I find unfamiliar HTML
source code. The image tag is formatted as:

<img width=108 height=140
src="cid:[email protected]">

If I right-click on the image and choose to save it, I
can only save it as a BMP image, not in the original GIF
format. Can anyone explain the code and how I might
recover the original image with a right-click?

Thanks for your assistance.

The code is normal as the picture is embedded. You can only save embedded
images as bmp-files.

To work around this use underlying code to create a macro that will save the
images in their original format;

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
