How to show attached images in mail automatically

[Tom H. Lautenbacher]

hello NG,

i am desperately looking for the option to see attached pictures in a mail
directly, as OE does.
i found the following in the help-file of outlook:

***********
Customize how the screen reader sees attachments
1.. Use the keyboard to choose the Customize Current View command (View
menu, Arrange By, Current View submenu).
2.. Click Fields, and then click New Field.
3.. In the Name box, type a name for the field, such as Attachment
included.
4.. In the Type list, click Formula.
5.. In the Format box, type:
If([Attachment]=True,"Attachment","")

6.. Click OK three times.
**********

is this the right solution for me?
i tried it out but the result was an error message saying "function could
not be found".

any hint for me?

greetings
tom

By design, Outlook does not display attached images inline. Outlook is a
business application. OE is targeted to consumers and the needs of the two
groups are different in this area. Exchange Administrators consider inline
display a security issue and don't want it.

Outlook only shows images inline with HTML mail items or RTF mail items with
OLE embedded images. Images in plain text mail items only show as
attachments (that you can open or save).

hello Russ!

thank you for your quick answer. well. that ist a petty. there are many
businesses, wich would like to see images attached right away, e.g. image
agencies, advertising companies, etc. all of them are hughe comanies wich
should actually fit in the target group of oulook. but if you receive 10
mails a day with 10+ images attached, then it is quite a hassle to open them
each seperately.

thanx for your info,

tom
