Tip 276: Display Inline Images

One thing that really bugs former Outlook express users when they switch to outlook is the lack of inline display of images in the preview pane.

There is not a setting you can enable to display images inline – Outlook does not support it. You can use VBA to create a picture viewer so it's easier. See View Attached Images in the Message, not as Attachments for the VBA code you'll need or an add-in, if you aren't comfortable playing with VBA.
