As a long time user of Outlook Express (10+ years) I can usually figure
out how to fix most problems. But this one really has me baffled.

When I click on a JPG file attachment (incoming e-mail) I get the error
that I must go to Folder Options and associate the JPG file.

Well here's the rub.

If I associate JPG files with "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" I *can*
open JPG e-mail file attachments just fine. But if I associate JPG files
with MS PAINT I keep getting the aforementioned error message. Namely,
that I need to go to Folder Options an associate the JPG file.

Please help.
