OUTLOOK attachment handling

[Iain]

I've just switched over from Express to Outlook 2000
and ideally I want to deal with attachments the same way
as Express did.
I want to see Jpegs in a preview pane (inbox and Outbox)
I want to see attachment names AND file sizes once attached
Can I do this?

Also, I'm wondering why Outlook is so slow to read files
when attaching, and seems to get stuck if the nav bar is
used to quickly.
I'm using XP, do I need to turn off previewing/thumbnails
or something? I don't use them...

Outlook doesn't handle the Preview Pane and attachments in the same way
Outlook Express did. How you see things in the Preview Pane is a function
of how the sender constructed the message. If they send you a Rich Text or
HTML message with embedded images, I believe you should see them. You can't
control what overhead information Outlook displays for attachments (but you
couldn't control that for OE, either).

Also, I'm wondering why Outlook is so slow to read files
when attaching, and seems to get stuck if the nav bar is
used to quickly.

I don't notice that myself.
