When I receive a forwarded e-mail from anyone on AOL or Yahoo that has been forwarded to them, each time the message has been forwarded shows up as an attachement. So I need to open each attachment until I get to the original e-mail. Is there any way to get around this? I use Outlook Express.

This is typical of emails that have been forwarded as attachments several times.

Yep, a big pain in the rump, but nothing you can do about it.

The sender of the message decides how emails are forwarded - either as attachments (as this person has done) or inline (like you want it).

The only way to fix this is to ask your friends to change their email clients settings.

Hi Ryoung,

With Outlook Express opened, go to Tools, Options, under the Read tab, check Automatically expand grouped messages, click Apply, then OK.

Hope this helps!

I just tried that myself and it did not work.
I'm thinking "grouped messages" do not refer to multiply forwarded emails as attachments. Not sure, though... I'll let it ride with the setting on and see what seems different.
