A friend of mine has sent a few images to me in an email as attachments. Wh
en others send me image attachemnts I can right CLICK on the file within the
email to save it to my HARD drive.

When THIS friend sends images from his Mac, the Inbox screen shows that ther
e is no attachement (as in, there is no paperclip next to the email) yet the
images are embedded within the email at the bottom. I can still save them
to my hard drive, but I lose the original file name (which I need) and it sa
ves as a bmp as opposed the jpg format he sent them in.

Why would this only happen with his attachments? Is it something HE is doin
g, or is there a setting I can change to solve this?

Please see my two example images to help you understand.

now.
2) http://www.riggottphoto.com/good.jpg - This is showing what usually hap
pens. (what I want)


Thank you!


Get your friend to send the email in plain text. Then the image won't be embedded within the HTML, but will appear as a normal attachment.Two points don't make sense to me. I can right click on an image in an Outlook messages, select Save PICTURE As, and the original name is retained (why would it change?) and Outlook shows, as file type, the original file format (GIF or JPG). I can select BMP for saving, but it's not what Outlook first displays in the Save as type box.Could it be Outlook is having trouble identifying the extensions from the MAC ? ?

Just a wild guess here.

Does he recieve your attachments properly on his end ? ?
