To combine multipart messages

Sometimes, when a large message (one that contains pictures, audio files, or other large objects) is sent in e-mail or posted to a newsgroup, it is broken into smaller files and displayed as several messages. You can combine the messages to recreate the original message and display it in Outlook Express.

1. Select all of the messages that are part of the original message (each part will usually have a number).
2. On the Message menu, click Combine and Decode.
3. If needed, reorder the parts in the correct sequence.

Note

• After you combine and decode the message, it is displayed in a separate window. The message will continue to be displayed in the message list as several smaller messages. To save the recreated message, on the File menu, click Save As.
