Sometimes you get an email with attachments that you would love to have, but don't know how to retrieve them.  This tutorial will show you how to do that in Outlook Express.

I like lots of screenshots, so please give them time to load.

First, open the email, then go to Tools,

Then to Options

Then click on Send

Toward the bottom of the box, you will see Mail Sending Format, click on "Plain Text", then Apply, then OK.

Now go back to your Email and click on Forward:

You will then be able to see your attachments listed:

Now, go to File, Save Attachments

Find where you want to save your attachments to, then click ok.  Just delete your email now, and walla you have your attachments saved.  Also, you might want to retrace your steps and change your Mail Sending Format back to HTML instead of Plain Text.  If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to contact me here.
