Stripping Off & Saving Attached Image Files

[D. Spencer Hines]

Does anyone know of a Good Program -- or capability within Microsoft Windows
XP Pro to strip off and save to the hard disk attached image files --
attached to Outlook Express emails?

I have a bucketful of emails from relatives with attached photos -- mostly
..jpg files -- and want to avoid having to strip off and save each one
individually.

In Outlook Express: File > Save Attachments.

Thank you.

But that only seems to work for one message at a time.

Laborious...

I want to highlight [select] many email messages in OE and save ALL the
attachments to the hard disk in a designated directory.

How would I do that?

Sounds like a good idea. Unfortunately, this cannot be done in Outlook
Express. One message at a time. However, if a message has more than one
attachment you can save them all at once.

Thanks again.

That would be a very useful update to Outlook 7 or 8.

Will there be one -- without having to accept the bollixed Internet Explorer
7?

I FAR prefer Outlook Express to Outlook.

This is a one at a time deal also.

Open an OE message (not full screen), left click the attachment(s) in the
Attach box and drag them to the Desktop or where ever.

You can Ctrl + left click to select any of the files or Ctrl + A to select
all of the files just like elsewhere in Windows.

NO, but there will be Windows Mail in Windows Vista :

So Outlook Express will be allowed to die?

Correct. Stock up on Kleenex now.

These supposed replacements for Outlook Express all turn out to be
badly-designed with many useless features.

They all seem to be designed to protect the careless, ignorant computer user
from himself -- at Great Cost in ease and flexibility -- and speed.

Internet Explorer 7 also falls in that category -- appallingly bad and
clumsy, slow bloatware.

I have a fast video card and 1 gig of RAM but IE7 still crawled and froze.

So I uninstalled it.
