This is perfect!

There is no OE7; Only IE7.

If I now send this file, the recipient sees the (jpg) open at the
bottom of the email.

My queston is - Is there a way of not opening these files in transit?

Yes, but how it's displayed is a function of how the user receiving the
photo is set up, not your own settings. They have it set to display the
photos inline. About all you can do is advise them of same if it's a
problem for them.

I know it is only a small problem but I am sure one of the experts out
there will be able to help!
