How can I receive photo attachments via e-mail?

For some reason whenever I'm being sent a photo via e-mail {outlook express} it's coming through actually as part of the message rather than being able to click on the paper-clip and opening. Because of this a lot of the photos I'm getting are coming through huge and I can't even see them properly. Any ideas why it's not working the normal way {paper clip?}?? Please help if you can. What do I need to do?

overriding program

DDR memory

I think it down to how the message is sent to you, if it is sent via: "insert a picture" it comes as a main part of the body of text, where if it is sent as: insert file attachment it come through as an attachment.

To solve the viewing issue, try saving the picture to a separate location and open it with a different picture viewing programme!!

Yes but each e-mail has got the paper-clip but it is greyed out and usually it always comes through that way.

Could it be your anti virus scanner preventing attachments from coming through?

I don't know.....technically they are coming through though, just as part of the e-mail?
