I tried to save a picture in an email i received, but couldn't; only the "copy" option was given and didn't even work.
I came across a site that addresses the issue, and more. Written in superb tutorials you are guided to create macros that restore missing functionality:
Save Embedded Pictures in Their Original FormatYou've probably come across this at least once; You receive a nicely HTML formatted message with embedded pictures so the sender can tell the story with the pictures and when you try to save the pictures you can only save them as a bmp-file. Or; you receive a fun e-mail with an animated gif-file and when you try to save it you can only save or copy it as a bmp-file which will of course break the animation.
Open Message in Internet BrowserOutlook 2007 uses Word as the HTML rendering engine which could end up in a malformed display of the email message. In short; The Word HTML rendering engine doesn't provide support for things like gif and flash animations, advanced css formatting and HTML forms and accessibility.
This guide explains how you can render the message in a browser of your choice like Internet Explorer or Firefox by a click of a button.
You'll see that these two work rightaway, after creating the macros and as long as you keep Outlook 2007 opened. Close it and try again, then they won't work anymore. The next step is also needed:- You have to sign your macros. For the required steps you must have Access installed as well.
Signing your own macros with SelfCert.exeWhen you create a macro and are running Outlook with the default security settings you are not able to run the macro unless you either tamper with the default security settings or sign your own code with a digital certificate. Since it is not very common to have your own digital certificate you probably set your macro security to a lower level to be able to run your macro. There is no need for that; you can sign your own macros with SelfCert.exe so there is no more need to lower your security settings.
