Default Outlook Express v6, picture attachment

Bruce:

The DWORD entries were initially created as part of OE4. With OE5, users
who missed the feature had to add the DWORD values. Since there are many
users of OE6 who started with OE4, upgraded to OE5 and then 5.5, and now to
6.0, the DWORDS shown in the registry will vary for most users. In OE6,
the "slideshow" feature was not supported at all, but you can add the DWORDS
and apply the values indicated to supress the showing of images with the
caveat Frank states on his website page (It will not allow you to Read
messages in Plain Text). For XP users, such as yourself, who never had OE4
or 5 installed, there will be no DWORD values as indicated since the feature
was not supported in OE6 and that is what shipped with XP.

I ran into the same question a few days ago. If you go to the location in
regedit,

"Automatically Inline Images" and
"Automatic Slide Show Delay"

did not show for the person I replied to, and are no longer in my registry
either.

Something must have changed with an update?

If you find anything on this, please let me know. This is why I only
suggested reading in Plain Text.

By default, OE displays any image attachments (JPG, GIF, BMP) at the
bottom of the message text. This is a display only (not a duplicate
attachment) and only affects what you see on your PC, not what the
recipient sees. Whether the recipients also automatically see the image
is dependent on their mail program and its settings. To change whether
or not you automatically see the images on your PC, see the following
article:

Well, I thing that is redundant, I don't see the value of having to
display
the image. In fact, I see it as rather disturbing - the image below the
text
is so large as to barely make sense of what it is. I hope OE developer
tem
give us an option to block the display. I don't need it.

I am having trouble with Outlook Express v6. Every time I send a
picture as
attachment, the program also inserts this image on the page, below
the
text
message I just typed. Is there a way to stop OE to place this image
in the
New Message Page? I don't see why the application does this.

OE doesn't _also_ insert the picture below the text, it displays an
attached
image below the text.
