Cannot download images in Outlook 2003 after installing IE7
Joe Luxford
"Tools/Options/Security/Change Automatic Download Settings/Don't
download pictures or other content automatically in HTML e-mail", all
my emails come through OK showing the embedded images etc.
When the box is ticked, there is the usual square with an enclosed red
X asking you to right click the box to download the images.
Unfortunately, right clicking cannot open the image. When I right
click the red X again, it offers to copy the embedded image which can
then be opened elsewhere, but not in the email - where you want to view
it.
This problem coincided with updating to IE7 on two of our computers
here - neither of which can download images with emails anymore. The
third computer on our network still has IE6 and it works fine.
Is there a fix or do I have to reinstall IE6 to overcome the problem?

I can't find the "Change Automatic Download Settings/Don't
> download pictures or other content automatically in HTML e-mail" boxes when going to "Tools/Options/Security". Where do I find these options?

If you have Outlook 2003, the button will be on the tab you describe right
below the Security Zones section. Without Outlook 2003, I don't think
you'll have it.

I checked the version of my Outlook (from Office XP) and somewhat blushing
I found it to be Outlook 2002. But although on a higher level, I'm still
confused. Why is its suddenly tha I can't see the imbedded images in the
mails in html-mode any longer? And if I go back and look at old mails where
they were visible before, there is only that scornful red cross in an empty
frame.
John
setting is in the registry. This also seems to affect my ATT Yahoo web
mail using there new web client.
Microsoft broke 2002 and 2003 by merging information between profiles.
Thus you can't have seperate accounts set up using the newer versions without
creating seperate users. Thus upgrading is out of the question.

Not true. Profile data is never merged unless you specifically do so.

False.

users
wouldn't see inline pictures. What fixed it was deleting the Outlook
cache directory contents (or you can delete the whole folder -
Outlook
will create it again). Usually at Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKXX. The
folder will start with OLK and have some other numbers/characters.
You
can also find it by opening an attachment, say a Word document, and
do
a File, Save As. That will show you the temp directory. And I will
add this took me quite a while to figure out ;-) I put a shortcut to
this directory on those users' desktops so they could empty out the
folder as it seemed to happen again and again.
Hope this helps,

See this: http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm . Get yourself a
copy of "Outlook Tools" from the link on that page.
