Hi,

I've been using the new Outlook.com, which replaced Windows Hotmail last year, and I've noticed a couple of things that I think is an issue between using Outlook.com on Internet Explorer versus Google Chrome:

1) The first annoying thing that I've tested and found out recently is that when I copy and paste an image found on the internet into the body of an e-mail...On IE, when I click on the image in the e-mail, there's the indicators that shows that I can resize the image however I want so that when I e-mail it, if it's a very big original picture size, I can use the diagonal indicators to resize it down smaller and then play around with sending it.

However, on Google Chrome, when I'm signed into my Outlook.com account and try to do the same thing, all that does is allow you to copy and paste the image from the source that you've copied from on the internet website, but, when you click on the image, nothing happens.  There's no indicators around the image to resize it, and that has been frustrating with some fun images I've liked to insert into the body of an e-mail in which I cannot control the proportion ratio of the image size displayed in the e-mail, so some pictures originally are small, some are very big, and there's nothing I can seem to do about it unless I force myself to use IE to send that e-mail, which is annoying.

Any fix to this?  I want to stick with Outlook.com and not download a client.

2) I have not confirmed this next issue if it happens only on Google Chrome or also on IE, but when I attach images to a e-mail to send to someone, I can see the previews by clicking on them, and the same thing in the case of which I reply to that e-mail with the same attachments, I can preview the images.  However, when it comes to forwarding the e-mail that has those image attachments to someone, the images are not viewable.  The only thing I see is a square thumbnail size box underneath the e-mail header with an option when you hover over it to "x" out the image, but I cannot click on the image to view the preview of it.

The only workaround I've had with this is that I've had to delete the photos and reupload all of them into the e-mail attachment so that I can view them before or after e-mailing it to someone.  Is this a known problem?


Please e-mail me back regarding these 2 areas.


Thanks,

Mike
