If I want to attach a file (.jpg) to an email using Outlook Express 7,
I can click on it and it will appear in the attachments line/box.
This is perfect!

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?

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

Whether or not the recipient sees the message is a function of their email
program and its settings.

You could ZIP the file before sending, or change the extension to TXT
instead of JPG or GIF and tell the recipient to change it back.
