Images in Email

I've just migrated from Mozilla ThunderBird to Office 2007 Outlook. I cannot
find a mechanism that allows me to view image attachments from within the
body of the email. I know I can view them from within the preview pane or
open them individually using one of the PhotoShops but I'd rather not need to
do it either of these two ways. I think the last time this was raised in the
discussion groups was about 2006, when it was stated that Office was
specifically disigned to not allow this. Has anything changed with 2007?
Does anyone know how I can get the images to open in the email when the email
is opened?
thanks
Kevin
 
use the preview pane and click once on the image attachment to view.

thanks for response Millie but I'm actually looking for a way to have images
to automatically load in the body of the email. A friend recently sent me an
email with 10 images of his home attached, and this was one of two such
emails he sent. To use the Preview pane I had to mouse click 11 times
(including selectlng the email initially), use the scroll button 3 times and
widen then shorten the preview pane. Alternately to open the email and then
view the images takes 2 mouse clicks to open the message, 10 more to open the
images, another to go back to the message and a last (number 14) to close the
email. I'm an old man - my Carpal Tunnel hates this.
(laughing)))
Is there no button to be clicked that merely says "View Images Within Body
Of Email"?
 
No.

No = No simple button to be pressed
I asked the wrong Question : -),
is it in anyway possible to have the images open in the body of the email??
does anyone have any suggestions?

If your sender embedded them in the message, you can get them to display in
the Reading Pane. Apparently the sender attached them. There's no way to
make an attachment show in the Reading pane.
