You did not list what operating system you are using. Since you are
using Microsoft Outlook Express, I am assumming you are on microsoft
windows.
You could do this with jhead (
http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead )
and the command line.
The following will take all jpg's in the current directory and insert
the file name without the extension into the jpg's comment field.
for %F in (*.jpg) do jhead -cl "%~nF" "%F"
