previewing attachments in Outlook xp in the preview pane like OE

[Chris and Lori Freels]

I finally got my wife to use Outlook over Outlook Express, but one feature
she really wants is to be able to see attachments like pictures etc in the
body of the message in the preview pane like she could in Outlook Express. I
have been unable to find where I can allow this. Anyone have any ideas?

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).
