Well, basicly that's what I'd like to do; save the attachments (photos) in a folder and leave the email in outlook. Does anybody know how? Thank you!
As far as I'm aware, Outlook Express doesn't support this directly, but you can try the following: 1) Save the attachments as normal 2) Either: a) Forward the message to yourself, remove the attachment, then click File> Copy to Folder, or just mail it to yourself. The disadvantage is that the message now appears to have come from you, not the original sender. OR b)Click File> Save As.. and save the message as type *.eml, or just drag the message onto your desktop. Open that file in Notepad, scroll down to the beginning of the encoded attachment (you can't miss it), and delete everything below that. Save the file, then drag the *.eml and drop it in an OE folder. The disadvantage is that this takes about 60 seconds, but the original headers remain. The suggestions in a) and b) were taken from a posting to alt.windows98 by a guy called Paul James on June 15th 2001, and applied to Outlook Express 5.5, but in a (very!) quick test they seem to be OK in version 6 too. Hope that helps. Rob.
Wow, cool! I'll try tomorrow morning but thanks for your time with greenies to be expected shortly...
Yes it did! Sometimes I wonder how some of you guys know such stuff, but what counts is that there's almost always someone on DP that can help! And I am impressed that you helped me out with so few posts... Nice to have you here!
