Can Outlook be set to receive embedded pictures instead
of converting them to attachments??
 
Outlook doesn't convert anything.

If the picture is send embedded then you'll receive it embedded. If the
picture is send as an attachment then you'll receive it as an attachment.

I think rllcc is asking why Outlook doesn't have the slide show feature
that Outlook Express used to have. It never did. Outlook is a PIM
(personal information manager) with e-mail that is intended for business
or professional use, not to subscribe to questionable daily mail lists
that spew e-mails with multiple picture attachments or to easily flip
through pics of the newborn kitties. If you get an attachment, it is
expected that you want it but obviously it is of no use within an e-mail
and so it needs to be saved to be used by some other application.
There's no reason to waste space and code on image previewers when the
attachment, if wanted, will get used in some other application, anyway.
Otherwise, you don't need the e-mail or attachment and can delete
either. Outlook and Outlook Express are not siblings or code
derivatives of each other, they are not full and lite versions of the
same program, they are separate programs, and they target different
markets and audiences. Use Outlook Express for personal use. Different
applications will have different feature sets.

I don't use Outlook Express for e-mail. Didn't OE6 also lose the slide
show "feature" (so OE5 was the last version with it)?
