My sister typically sends my mom emails with 5 to 10 photos attached, and she hates having to click on each pic to view it. Using Outlook 2003, she sucks with computers and I'm trying to figure out an easy way to show her how to 1 click and get a slide show or something.

any ideas??

Hotmail usually embeds the pictures and displays them without having to open each one individually. Set her up an account with that?

Is there a download all attachments option? Gmail has a nice "View All" option which shows them on one page.

leros - I don't see that option. I don't want to switch her to Hotmail, she's not a computer person at all and is just getting almost use to Outlook. My sister isn't any better so telling her to use imageshak or flicker would be another training session. I thought there might be some simple add-on for for. Apparently it's gonna lead me to teaching her how to use Hotmail or something lol.

Postbox is for mac and windows, and it has a photos button that shows all your embedded photos in emails. It is amazing and also provides tabbed email views and a super fast search.
