As too many of you may recall, we beat this topic to death on MSNewsGroups, but to no avail. The cause for this problem has now become clear, if there is anyone left out there who gives a hoot. Unfortunately, the solution has not become clear.Because of this, and several other problems, I reformated my HD and did a clean reinstall with my original disc - WIn XP IE6 OE6 SP2. After getting the basics working again, I sent, and received emails with jpg attachments no problem. JOY !Then I reinstalled IE8. Talk about progress - I can no longer receive emails with jpg attachments, nor can I make IE8 understand I want Google for a Home Page. Goinig back to IE6 did not change the problem. Once IE8 is in, I'm permanently jinxed. But I have my Home Page back :-)I post this as a matter of interest for the remaining few who care, if any. If you do, you have my sympathy, but that's all, beause I don't have a fix.Respecrfully submitted,I will mark this Answerd in a few days.Sabre D1 person got this answerI do too

Thanks Steve, I should have been clearer. My (re)install disc was WinXP IE6 OE6 SP2. As soon as I was up and running, I went to right to IE8 and SP3, and immediately could not receive any email with a jpg attachment.And Ben, the short version is any email sent to me with a jpg attachment never appears on my server ( the message OR the attachment), therefore there is nothing to download. Both seem to evaporate into the 'ether'. I have received probably 50 suggestions on a fix; none have worked. BTW, I just finished a very complicated brochure involving numerous jpg photo exchanges. Not one came through. Very unsatisfactory.Going back to IE6 and SP2 (which worked when reinstalled) - does not cure the problem. I am marking this as Answered because I get carped at for leaving unanswered questions out there. The fact that they haven't been answered doesn't seem to matter.Sabre D
