Default Can't open .jpg images in OE

When I receive a message with .jpg attachments, they are visable in the body
of the message. If I click on the "paper clip" and try to open the image in
Windows picture and fax viewer, I get a popup that say's "This action is only
valid for products that are currently installed". .jpg images open OK from
folders in My Pictures or My Documents, but not from attachments in OE. How
do I resolve this?
Thanks for any help .....

Default Can't open .jpg images in OE

You need to fix the OPEN action in Windows File Associations for JPG
files. This is what OE uses. You need to make it like the Default
action for JPG files which is probably PREVIEW.

See the Identifying Attachment File Types and Setting File Associations
section of
Decoding Internet Attachments - A Tutorial
