Paul's response:

Get rid of that MS crap and download a free copy
of Thunderbird.

While Office may be "MS crap", it isn't necessary (or even desirable in
some cases) to get rid of it.  The problem is that some of the images
that Paul sends on the newsletter are labeled as JPEGs, when they are in
fact PNGs*.  The problem is that the standard image viewing software for
Office is a piece of MS crap (and you can quote me on that).

Download & install Irfan http://www.irfanview.com/ (a free image viewing
tool).  During install, tell it to handle all images, which will
relegate the MS image viewer tool to the "obsolete" pile where it
belongs.  After you restart Outlook, Outlook will use Irfan to view
images attached to emails.  Irfan detects that the images are PNGs
labeled as JPEGs (and squawks about it). Problem solved.

* Paul, please continue to send them as JPEGs.

I can do three things. I can relabel them as jpg like you mentioned
above.  Save them as jpg when I screen capture with Fedora 3 or
load them into xv and save them as jpgs. The last is the least
desirable of the three options. Perhaps you can research this
and see if saving them as a jpg from Fedora 3 screen capture really
converts them to a true jpg.
