Saving attachments

When a received message includes one or more attachments, it will have a small, paper clip icon displayed in the Inbox. There are two ways to save attachments. The first method lets you save attachments without opening the message:

  1. Select the message in the Inbox (or whatever mail folder you are working in).
  2. Choose File?Save Attachments from the menu.
  3. On the next menu, select the attachment to save. Outlook opens the Save Attachment dialog box.
  4. Navigate to the folder where you want the attachment saved.
  5. Edit the attachment filename, if desired. Warning: Do not change the extension!
  6. Click Save.

Repeat these steps, if necessary, for other attachments.

If the message has more than one attachment, the menu that Outlook displays in the preceding Step 3 also has a Save All Attachments command. Selecting this command opens the Save All Attachments dialog box, as shown in Figure 27-24. Note that all attachments are listed and selected. Then:

  1. If you want to save just some of the attachments, select them by clicking and Ctrl+clicking (to select more than one individual attachment) or Shift+clicking (to select a group of adjacent attachments).
  2. Click OK. Outlook displays the Save All Attachments dialog box.
  3. Select the folder to save the attachments in. You cannot edit attachment names; they are saved under their original names.
  4. Click OK.

You can use the other way to save attachments when the message is open or displayed in the reading pane:

  1. In the message header, right-click an attachment name.
  2. Choose Save As from the shortcut menu.
  3. In the next dialog box, select a folder for the attachment and the attachment name, if desired.
  4. Click Save.
