Hello,

When forwarding an e-mail, or when attaching, a Jepg or JGP file, there a few other images that get attached as part of the file that i am forwarding or attaching. Theseold files were sent before to another person.

How do I delete these old ones and be able to send the right file only.

Windows XP, MS Outlook 2007.

Thanks for your help.

Right-click choose delete/remove the attachments you don't want?

If that isn't what you are looking for, it is because your question
is not very clear. Explain it in more detail - maybe others will
provide a solution.

Scenario:

I rec'd an e-mail with Jpeg attachement, one picture. When I forward he same e-mail to another person, with the same attachement, the user gets the original attached file Plus other files that were once sent as attachement.

Ditto if I am attaching JPEG file (one Picture), but when I click on the attachement to see the file, there is more than one file.

I hope this is clear.

If you attach one jpg file - how can you click on the
attachment and see that there is more than one jpg
file? What is the other file that you see? What is
the extension of the other file that you see?

You attach one file - you are only supposed to see
one file (in this case, the jpg).

Well, when u right click on the attached file, open option - with fax and picture viewer or microsoft picture manager, you see the file that u need to attach plus some others that you have attached in the past, even though you have attached the one file.

While I have knowledge of Outlook and fax and picture viewer,
I use neither and don't know exact details of all features.

However, until someone responds that has actual experience,
let's proceed.

1) You open a brand new email.
2) You click to attach a jpg file.

How many files do you see showing as an attachment in the
email?

It should be only 1 file. If it shows 2 or more files on the email,
you did something wrong. Only the files that show on the email
itself are the ones that are attached.

Another way to verify that, is to look at the size of the jpg.
Let's say the size is 100,000 bytes (100KB). The email will add
some weight to that figure, maybe the final email size will be
approx 130KB. If you actually have 2 jpgs attached, assuming
the same size, then the email will be 260KB. So, if your email
isn't that big, by reason, you must have only 1 jpg attached.

To be able to see filesize, save it to your draft folder and look
at the filesize column. Hopefully you have that column enabled.

Once you open that 1 jpg in picture viewer, maybe it retains a
list of files that you have attached previously, for your
convenience? So in case you ever want to know what you have
sent in the past?

It seems that the reciepient did recieve only one file. I guess your conclusion seems correct in that it holds the "history", but is it the norm?

[VistaRookie]

I can't honestly say because I've never used
fax and picture viewer.

However, if those pictures are of no further
value to you, they can be deleted. That way
it might not be so confusing.

Right-click and choose delete.

You can always move the pictures to any
folder of your choice as well. Use Windows
Explorer to move them, if it is easier than
using picture viewer.
