Contact picture in Outlook 2007 Messages (list) pane (or which field is a contact picture)?

Hi,

I would like to see a small thumb from the "From" person nextto it, in each of the messages that show in the list left from the reading pane (e.g. in my Inbox).  
Since I can often see the thumb in the e-mail itself (in the upper right corner), this must be possible, right?  Been looking for the field that holds such a picture, but I can't find it.  I presume there is something else that just the outlook fields that has its way here.
Anyone know how to do this?

Do you think scripting it would take a lot of resources (CPU, RAM) besides needing cleverness?  You don't happen to have an idea how to code this or at least which property to address?  I am able to do some coding if required, though I never addressed Outlook.

( I don't mind distorted small images. At least not when the height of each mail in my list takes 2 lines. )

So, you don't know the property, hmm?  Seems to look more and more to take a lot of time to get this to work.

And do I understand your proposal correctly that it is about another picture than the one in the contact details?   If so, and nobody else has some more knowledge to this, I'll leave the matter and accept your "solution".

So, anyone else any knowledge on the matter?

I see.
I don't think I will code this myself.  Looks to hard.

Do you or anyone else got such a hack or copy-pic-method (or are the points too low for such a thing) ?
I'll give the copy-pic method a shot if you're interested.  The points are up to you.

Yes, I AM interested!!  :-)
(  I would like to give more points, but I have been so inactive on Xx.  This is all what I have left (and working pro bono) :-( )

Well, if anyone every bumps into this thing, be sure to contact me and I'll make a question for it.  For now, I'll accept that it is not attainable.
Thanks for trying BlueDevilFan!
I had the same problem and found this solution on another website:

Contact picture displayed in e-mail header All e-mail messages received from a contact for which you have a picture will display the contacts picture to the right of the message header. To disable this feature, deploy the following registry data:

Key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Options\Mail DWORD: ShowContactPicture Values:1 (or missing DWORD) = show contact picture if available 0 = do not show contact picture

Hope it helps!
