Running OE v 6 with XP, attachments to email are always displayed in reduced
size, so I must click on the icon in title bar to display the full item.
This is not a major problem, but it is an aggravating experience. How can I
get the attachment to display the way I want it to?
Thanks in advance!

You are beyond annoying.

I SERIOUSLY suggest you unplug your computer until you figure out
what's wrong - whether it's you or your news provider, but I guarantee
you, you ARE getting a TON of complaints to your ISP and NSP, and will
likely find yourself in need of a new ISP if you keep this up.

And, you've likely made the killfiles of most of the people in this
group.

I'm beginning to think it is the news provider. This batch all has:
Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2008 14:26:50 -0700
and the other batch is all:
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2008 11:30:57 -0700

...although they all do have different day/time in the X-Trace: header.

I agree that this is annoying but is it deserving of an abuse
report? Seems clear that Bob is having trouble with OE and also
with however he is posting these. Perhaps he doesn't see his own
posts and thinks they're not going through. That has happened to
me and to friends. Then, some period of time later, the posts all
pop in - along with the duplicates - and other people get bent
out-of-shape.

Meanwhile, I am interested in an answer to Bob's dilemma from the
opposite point-of-view - when people send me an E-mail with a
really large picture attachment, it is impossible to see the
entire picture without opening it in a graphics app of some sort
and zooming out. I'm not familiary with an OE6 switch in XP that
controls view size but if there is one, both Bob and I would
benefit as would many others I suspect.

Since all Bob's posts have the same timestamp, it's pretty clear he
isn't reposting them manually. Either they (two separate posts) are
stuck in his OE outbox, or his news service keeps reposting them.

I'm not sure how I would vote .. it's a tossup. <g>

The only thing I would vote AGAINST is file abuse reports with
his ISP/NSP until/unless it can be proved that BOB is doing this
intentionally. It seems clear, though, that Bob is unsure if his
posts are making it through because he's commented that "I'm
trying again", which is what lead me to conclude maybe he can't
see his own posts.

Also, I've not seen ANY suggestions to solve the problem or even
discuss what view options might be available in OE6, have you?

No, I'm sure Bob is not intentionally reposting. The timestamps would be
different if he was.

...or the replies. Maybe he is waiting for a phone call "from his ISP"
<g> No, not really. His posting history goes back about a year, and he
has responded to replies in some old threads.

Well, I don't use OE6 meself, so other than telling Bob to clean out his
Outbox, I can't think of anything else. As to answering his actual
question, I think someone did that, yes?

If they did, Beau, I missed it. To recap, the OP says he can't
get OE6 on XP to display JPEG attachments at 100%. I chimed in
that I can't find a way to STOP OE6 from displaying really large
pictures, like the unedited 4 mega pixels my daughter sends, from
displaying 100%. I keep my Inbox clean and I've looked for a
switch or obscure OE option that controls how viewing works but
haven't found one. It may well be there, as many, many MS product
"features" are pretty well hidden, I just can't find it.

So, if someone has helped the OP - and they don't mind repeating
themselves - I'd certainly appreciate knowing what OE uses to
control display sizes. Thanks.
