If you are just viewing it with NS or OE then what is best?<<

For the fastest download times, then, obviously the smaller
file...surprisingly, it had the best detail when enlarged, as well.

That is providing you have a program that can zoom files.<<

Outlook and Outlook Express automatically open a program to view the graphic
file when you click on the file attachment. In the later windows versions,
it's their own picture viewer, unless you change it for your own preference.
In the earlier versions, I believe it was "Paint".  Or, you can choose any
program you prefer that will display the format.  All of these have zoom
functions.

I haven't used Netscape in awhile, but when I was using it, I remember that
it did the same thing. Directed the file to Paint, Picture Viewer or any
other program of your choice.  Netscape, Outlook Express and Outlook don't
have picture viewers built in...they redirect the attached file to other
programs.

Netscape is stand alone. There is no jpg viewer in stock Windozes
other than OE. If you disable OE, or use Windows 98 which is sans OE, NS does 
the jpg viewing. In Linux NS is also stand alone. It does not use
xv. In fact the NS viewer gives a higher quality view than xv.
However xv is faster to load.

In Linux Ytree and Xtree both can be set up to use xv or NS. Back in DOS
days Xtree had built in viewers that could view all sorts of
files like dwg, dxf, iges, jpg, gif, etc., etc., etc..
