Where does Outlook saves a mail attachment ?

[AD]

Hi,

I want to know where does Outlook saves a mail which is an attachment
of another mail. For any other attachment types I know that it saves in
a Temp Folder in the path C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local
Settings\Temp. But there I can't find all the attachment mails that I
have opened with my Outlook. I'm using Outlook 2000 in Windows 2000
server.

Plz help.

If you save it to the file system (like with other attachments) then it
saves in the same place the other attachments do.

Saves it when? If you right-click and choose Save As, is saves it exactly
where you tell it. If it's still in the message and you haven't opened it,
then it's not saved anywhere, but is still in the message. If you mean when
you double-click it in the message to open it, then a copy is placed in the
Secure Outlook Temp Folder, which is usually a subfolder of your Temporary
Internet Files folder.
