Hello,

I see that Outlook has various options for fetching embeded images that are
links to external web sites however is there a way to get outlook to fetch
the image and store it locally so it is available when the user is working
"offline"?

/Richard

How are you going to fetch an online image if Outlook is set to using offline mode?

Hej,

I am not sure how to awnser your question but perhaps your are trying to
make a point?

What I am wondering is then when Outlook is working online, (which is normal
for me) and I recieve an email with some embedded images they are not
displayed. Instead I see a message that says I should right click to fetch
the messages (which I do). No problem.

Does this mean that Outlook now has a copy of the images so if I was then
offline later I could still see them, or are they always fetched when
needed?

The reason I ask is that I am sending an html formated email and I want to
know if I can delete the images that are lying on our web server after a few
weeks because I can assume that they have been fetched by Outlook. Or
whether they must always be present so that users can read their email
correctly.

Many thanks.

Richard

If the mail is opened, the pictures are fetched and the user chooses to save
the changes when closing the message, then the pictures are enclosed within
the message.

Note, this is only how Outlook does it. Other mail clients might behave
differently and will always fetch a fresh copy. It's pretty much up to you
how long you want to support a specific email.

Hej,

I have noticed in my Outlook client just now that the images are always
fetched, and I am never asked it I want to save them. So when I disconnect
my network cable the images are nolonger displayed.

Any ideas why I am not given the choice to save the images?
