What happened to 'View Attachments' context menu item in Outlook 2010?
In older versions of Outlook, when you were viewing any folder, if a message had an attachment, you could right click on the email (without opening it) to bring up a context menu containing the option to View attachments.
The View Attachments command allowed you to view the filenames of any attachments on that email in a list, which was very useful if you were looking for a specific attachment among several messages.
The View Attachments command was removed from Outlook 2010 (and Outlook 2013). You can view a list of attachments using the File > Save All Attachments command but you can't open an attachment from the Save all dialog, only save them to your hard drive.
Tip: if you know the filename of an attachment, Instant Search should find it, using hasattachments:yes attachment:filename
