Viewing Messages and Message Attachments.


Each time you start Outlook and connect to your e-mail server, any new messages
received since the last time you connected appear in your Inbox. Depending on your
settings, Outlook downloads either the entire message to your computer or only the
message header, which provides basic information about the message, such as:
● The item type (message, meeting request, task assignment, and so on)
● Who sent it
● When you received it
● The subject
Icons displayed in the message header indicate optional information such as:
● The most recent response action taken
● Whether files are attached
● If it has been digitally signed or encrypted
● If the sender marked it as being of high or low importance
