How to view jpeg images in-line in outlook?

I run Outlook 2000 (not outlook express) and if someone sends me an
e-mail with a jpeg attachment, outlook displays it as a generic
clickable icon within the message body. When I double-click the icon, a
separate app (microsoft photo editor) opens and displays the jpeg. This
is very cludgy.

Is there any way that outlook can render the image in-line - ie in line
with the rest of the content of the message body?

No, the sender would need to embed it in HTML. See
http://www.slipstick.com/mail1/inline.asp for possible solutions. (They may
not work with Outlook 2000).
