Hi Patrick,
Just wanted to give you feedback on this macro and thank you. I didn't even know what a "macro" did when I read your posts today, but I did my homework and was able to get it up and running in Outlook and it is WONDERDFUL! I even made a toolbar button for it, like you suggested. My photo editor program took FOREVER to load up the pics when I opened them, and it was driving me CRAZY. You saved my sanity! Thanks so much!

Updated version of the view attachments macro.
- Saves files in temporary internet folders instead of creating directory.
Files are automatically deleted from temporary folders when Outlook is closed.
- Allows right-click of image to 'Save As', 'Email', 'Print' etc. (previous
version deleted files, so this functionality did not work).
- Fixed auto resizing of images to browser width (previous version sometimes
didn't resize extremely large images the first time). If you want to resize
manually just resize the browser window, right-click, & choose 'Refresh' to
scale the images to the new browser width.
Please try it out & give me some feedback....
