Hi All,

I have a problem viewing images attached to an e-mail when the attachments have the same file name, the version is Windows Live Mail - Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3555.0308).

Say I receive an e-mail with three images attached, all with the file name photo.jpg, when I go to view them, either by clicking 'View slide show' or by double clicking on an individual image as previewed at the top of the reading pane, I always get the last attached image, I cannot view any of the other images.  I believe this is because WLM extracts all the attachments to a temporary folder, and as they all have the same name they overwrite each other leaving the last one standing.

A different e-mail with three images attached named photo1.jpg, photo2.jpg and photo3.jpg display fine if I double click them or view as a slide show.

I've tested this on two different computers with WLM and it happens on both.  Does anyone know a workaround - or how to report this as an issue to Microsoft?

Thanks,

Jono
