Default Cannot open JPG file attachment with MSPAINT

No change Bruce.

But for what it is worth I also tried using a new association besides:
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer - which works
and
MS Paint - which does NOT

Namely, I tried associating JPG files with Internet Explorer instead of MS
Paint. What I discovered is that IE6 works. So it appears to be related to
MS Paint - as two other associations work just fine.

Hope this helps.

Have you tried it this way?

Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With. Select
MS Paint and then check the box: Always use this program to open this kind
of file.

Reboot and see if it will open from the attachment to Paint now.
