Outlook doesnt show pics in email window

[needhelp]

I have just changed over to Outlook after using Outlook Express for many years.

When I receive jpeg pics from my firends in Outlook, I have to open each and every single picture one by one, if they have been sent as an attachment. I dont see the pictures in the main body of the email like I use to with Outlook Express.

I know I would be able to see the pictures in the main body if they had been "inserted" instead of sent as an attachment but this was not the case in Outlook Express, even if the pics were sent as an attachment, I could still see the pictures in the main body of the email.

Is there some setting that will make this happen. It is very useful to preview the pictures in the email before I open them or save them to disk.

I am using Office 2003.

How can I set Outlook to automatically download and open pictures when I open an HTML e-mail message?

Choose Tools | Options | Security | Change Automatic Download Settings and de-select 'Don't Download pictures or other content automatically in HTML e-mail'.
