Is it possible to set Outlook to auto open attachments, Thunderbird allows this but I cannot find an option in Outlook. I have received an email with loads of photos and it's a pain to open each one individually.

    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.
