Picture Attachments?

[Kyonn Gowans]

I recent moved form Outlook Express to Outlook 2002 and one of the many
problems I'm having is viewing picture attachments in email I receive, In
Express picture attachment were automatically viewed in the body of the
message but for some reason Outlook doesn't do that and forces me to open
each file individually. Is there any way to change Outlook to act like
Express in that respect?

No, Outlook shows pictures as attachments when they were inserted as
attachments (Insert-> File...). When they are inserted as a picture they
will be displayed in-line (Insert-> Picture...)

That really sucks, the only reason I moved over to Outlook is because I
bought a Pocket PC and it only works with Outlook, as of yet I have not
found one advantage that bloated program has over Express.

Calendar support and better Contacts support are things you should have
noticed ;-)

While I'll admit that Outlook has some advantages over Express they still
aren't enough to make up for Outlooks shortcomings. For me it is far more
important to view pictures in email (without having to click on each pic
individually ) and easily move between email and newsgroups than it is to
have an improved address book. What really seems to boggles my mind is that
fact that Express is free and Outlook is part of a very expensive suite.
Outlook should easily be five times the product Express is.

Calendar support and better Contacts support are things you should have
noticed ;-)

Nothing prevents you from using Outlook for your Calendar, Tasks, Notes
(which will sync with your PDA) and Outlook Express for your mail. Reading
mail on a PDA is fairly limited anyway, in many cases.

 

[Brian Tillman]

What really
seems to boggles my mind is that fact that Express is free and
Outlook is part of a very expensive suite. Outlook should easily be
five times the product Express is.

And in the correct environment, it is, but assuming it will _always_ suit
someone's needs better than Outlook Express is like saying a clawed hammer
is always better than a wrecking bar. They're different tools, even though
they both pry things loose. Their application, however, depends on what you
need to do.

Which it is by far if you ask me.

Note that OE and Outlook are developed by 2 separate teams. OE is developed
by the Internet Explorer team while Outlook is developed by the Office team.

While instant picture viewing is fun for some it can be very annoying as
well for others. Out of security reasons Outlook doesn't automatically
excecute any attachments and just displays them the way the sender created
the message.

Outlook desn't have newsgroup support since OE already provides this. In a
corporate environment this newsgroups can be managed centrally through
Exchange Public Folders which can be used by Outlook. There are several
add-ins for Outlook that can Outlook also handle newsgroups on its own.

Yeah I'm aware of that but at the time it seemed silly to use Outlook for
the things you mentioned and not for mail. Outlook wasn't even installed on
my pc and I thought that if I'm gonna install it I might as well use all its
features.

Well, if it doesn't do what you want it to do, then it's not really the tool
to use, it seems. However, there are third party sync tools for PDAs that
you may find more suitable, in that they sync with Outlook Express.
CompanionLink, Intellisync, and Susteen DataPilot, for example, purport to
be able to do this.
