![]() From time to time I receive email having one or more attachments. Usually the "window" on the incoming message form is large enough to list all of these attachments. However, sometimes that "window" is only 1 line high, with arrow buttons at the right to scroll up and down. In those cases, if there are several attachments, one cannot scroll slow enough to see the names of all of the attachments. Thus, I can't tell if I've opened all the attachments. Is there a way to enlarge this "window" so that all attachments are shown? I'm using W-2000/pro, and OE6. Thanks. -- ---------- CWLee Former slayer of dragons; practice now limited to sacred cows.

Is this *window* the field to the right where it says Attach: when viewing a
message in its own window? That cannot be changed. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "CWLee" wrote in message ... From time to time I receive email having one or more attachments.

No, I believe we are talking about something else. When I view a message in its own window, and if that message has one or more attachments, there is a new "sub-window" just below the Subject line that appears. It varies in size; if only one attachment it is 1-line high, but if there are 2 or more attachments it is sometimes several lines high showing all attachments and other times it is just 1 line high but with scroll buttons (up and down) to the right. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "CWLee" wrote in message ...

And this "sub-window" does not say Attach: to the left of it right under the
word Subject:? When you open a message in its own window, not the Preview Pane, is that window the full size of the screen? -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "CWLee" wrote in message ...

If you try forwarding the message (using Plain Text), do all the attachments
appear just below the Subject line? You do know that you can click on the menu, File/Save Attachments and it will save all attached files. -- Jim Pickering MVP-Windows Mail applications Please reply only to the newsgroup.

I can't be sure, but I believe that in my case, that "window" never goes
larger than three lines even it there are dozens of attachments, and AFAIK, there is no way to change that behavior.

![]() "CWLee" When you open a message in its own window, not the Preview Pane, is that window the full size of the screen? Yes, that window (the one associated with Attach ) goes the full length of the screen. I should have written that it goes the full WIDTH of the screen.

You do know that you can click on the menu, File/Save Attachments and it will save all attached files. Was not aware of that, and it may be useful at times. I guess it is another way of seeing the full list of attachments when the attachments sub-window is not tall enough to list them all. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Jim Pickering MVP-Windows Mail applications Please reply only to the newsgroup.
