XP My PIctures email feature
 

When I want to send rather larger jpgs in an email I use the Win XP My
Pictures email feature that allows you to reduce the size of the jpg.

After I then type up the email with the jpgs already attached but if I want
to just check that I have selected the correct picture by just clicking on
the attachment I can't open it up, why?

I presumed that as XP had compressed this file for some reason my graphic
programme Photoshop Elements Vers 1 could no longer recognize it, (normally
it will). But a friend of mine can open theirs with their different graphic
programme.

I don't want to have to put another programme on, is there a way round this?

TIA

XP My PIctures email feature
 

Think I have answered my own question. When I checked on file associations
once again I notice there are two (jpeg and jpg) names for jpeg which I
probably didn't notice before.

Thanks anyway
