MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / December 2007saving embedded images
How come when when I am using outlook 2007 and I right click on an image that is embedded in an HTML email it does not have an option to save? The only option that is not greyed out is copy. When I try to use copy/paste in to a folder it saves it as some kind of scrap file. that's the design with Outlook 2007. Paste it into an image editor such as Paint instead.

Thank god I can switch back and forth to outlook express. I feel sorry for anyone who's company forces them to use Outlook only. :( > that's the design with Outlook 2007.

Most companies actually use the features in Outlook which OE doesn't have. Id' say they would be more appreciative of the many new features and fixes than worried over something this trivial. It appears you only use outlook as a basic email client. OE would suit you. SignatureBill R MVP > Thats crazy. Thank god I can switch back and forth to outlook express.

I get about 3-4 emails a week where people put pictures in the email from familiy photos to web site draft snap shots. Do you really expect me to have to open another application everytime I want to save an image. On top of that then I have to worry about the format and quality being changed? This is a major make or break feature for a mail client. > "I feel sorry for anyone who's company forces them to use Outlook only." > For a minor little issue like this?

The link containing the VBA code was great for attached images. Unfortunately, the author did not consider 'included' images. These seem to be embedded through IMG SRC with "CID:" for its value (???). Which is HTML but - help me out - because I do not have any idea how SMTP stores the binary data (image) to access it so it can be stripped into a file for saving (to jpeg). It does not have it linked. It is embedded somewhere so that it is not an attachment AND it is not a linked image. Here is helpful detail that may enlighten this seemingly new way of putting images in emails. This is a .NET related question where FAQ details HOW to implement embedding images this way. It just doesnt say how to strip it from the email. But that is the reason for my post: http://www.systemnetmail.com/faq/4.4.aspx I know this is an older topic but it is too obscure to be posting additional posts. I am looking for a way to, at least, get that binary data image so I can save it to a new file. I am versed in VBA. Just need some direction. Thanks Just in case you want evidence, here is the 'image' html from the email messages source: Quote > <IMG SRC="cid:X.MA1.1197914461@aol.com" ID="MA1.1197914461" WIDTH="900" HEIGHT="954" BORDER="0" DATASIZE="293291" - NULL Are you referring to my code at; http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/saveembeddedpictures.htm CID refers to an embedded pictures so the VBA will save that picture. The VBA code doesn't save pictures that are stored on a webserver. To do that open the message in a browser.

Before replying, I re-ran the example and it worked fine. I must have had selected a message not having an embedded image while stepping through the code. I apologize. Thanks for the great code. I'm gonna have to purchase the book now.
