Embedded pictures save as bmp untitled

[Mepoinc]

Whenever I receive an email with pictures in the body, if I right click and
try to save the picture it always saves as a bmp with the name of untitled.
I can save attachment pictures fine. The email contains jpg and gif and they
always try to save as bmp untitled. If I forward the email to outlook
express, then I can save the picture in the format it was sent such as jpg
or bmp, and I have no problem saving pictures from web sites either as is
suggested in Microsoft's support files on the web. Outlook 2003 is the only
program that will not save the pictures in original format with original
name. Even thunderbird save them correctly. Help please.

I tried that but didn't like it. Outlook used to save the embedded pictures
just fine, I was hoping someone could tell why it won't anymore, was it
because of a security fix or something? Currently I am using Outlook
Express, and if it messes up I have thunderbird configured as well, but I
really liked outlook 2003. Thanks for the help. Mike

NO, Outlook does not always save as bmp. It use to save correctly, and I
have 3 other computers at home that work and 2 at work. There is a problem
somewhere and I think it is in one of the security issues because all my
other systems have not been updated since I noticed this one messing up and
as a result they have not messed up. I just don't know which update or what
messed it up. Thanks for your attempt at knowledge to help.

What version of Outlook are you using there and at what patch level? Also
what version of Windows is installed and what version of Internet Explorer.
For embedded pictures in Outlook (not Outlook Express) I'm quite convinced
that it always saved embedded pictures as bmp that's why I setup that guide.
If at all it would be the E-mail Security update but I currently don't have
a system running without that.
