Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Internet / December 2007Pictures in emails
I am uncertain how to configure OE to display pictures (JPGs) embedded in emails. They show up perfectly in my Win98 configuration (in context, not attachments, saveable separately as JPGs.) In my wife's WinXP configuration they appear as attached *.DAT files and not in place. / Tools / Options suggested nothing likely.

Are you asking about messages you send or messages you receive?

If the mail was sent from Outlook using Outlook's RTF format then Outlook Express will never find the attachment. Outlook Express does not understand Outlook's RTF format. Ask the Outlook user to please use Plain Text, especially when sending attachments.

I hope you enjoyed the nap . . . but your recommendation makes no difference. Specimen email was sent in duplicate to two addresses. Recipient with OE.v.6 under Win98 can see all pictures in context within the email (and can save them as standalone JPG files.) Recipient in OE.v.6 under WinXP 1 -- sees no pictures in the email, only an inch of white space for each 2 -- sees multiple attachments of type ATTnnn.DAT of size 30 to 60 kb each. These are no doubt the embedded pictures. SignatureDon Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) Outlook Express doesn't modify income messages, so something different happened to the message on the way to the XP PC. Take a look at the Message Source (Ctrl-F3) for the same message on Win98 and XP. Look for any differences. Start with the headers. Does the XP message indicate that message was processed by some anti-virus program or anti-spam program that the Win98 wasn't? Look at the headers for the attachments. Does the Win98 PC has a JPG for each DAT file on XP? The ATTnnn.DAT indicates that OE got an attachment without a file name or valid extension or meaningful MIME type. To see how attachments are encoded, see: Decoding Internet Attachments - A Tutorial http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/decode.htm SignatureMike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm >> >I am uncertain how to configure OE to display >> > pictures (JPGs) embedded in emails.

Slightly different subject but give it a whirl anyway: Outlook Express message appears blank and has an ATT000XX.txt or an ATT000XX.htm attachment: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=312351 Signature~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L.ORG http://66.39.69.143/ > I am uncertain how to configure OE to display > pictures (JPGs) embedded in emails.
