    Hello
    I am using windows 10 and Chrome 50. I open my emails in my browser using outlook. com.
    when I receive an email with a picture attachment, I cannot see the picture or an attachment icon.. I can only download it or download it as zip if it is a large file. I can also save it to one drive.
    when I download the picture, it goes into my download file. I find it click on it and t opens up in my viewer.
    I was using windows live mail 2012 and all I had to do was click on the paper clip attachment icon and the picture would open in my viewer. I did not have to download it first
    now using outlook.com I have more steps.
    how can I simplify this?
    thanks in advance

    thanks for your quick reply. when I click on the picture icon I get menu to either Save to OneDrive or Download. If I download it, then it goes to download file, and I have to find it there and open it from there.
    IN wndows live mail 2012, all I had do was click the paper clip and it opened up right away without me waiting for ti to downloadd and then looking for it

    When I click on the picture or the black bar - the picture opens.

    If I click on the Arrow - I get the same save options you are seeing.

    when I click on the picture it says saave t one drive or download and then I have to go through a whole download process which takes time because I have a slow connection in Windows live mail 2012 it was just there. click on the paper clip and it opens up right away
