Sam,
I found that changing the name of the file to JPG as it should be did
NOT allow Arachne to show it to me in mail. The problem was NOT with
the fact that the file was JFIF ... it was with the fact that IE had
declared it as image/tiff when encoding.
Arachne refused to do anything except name the file .TIF time and again,
even though the file name was encoded as being JPG.
I had to go into the actual message code and change it to read
image/jfif and them Arachne made it a JPG and showed it to me.
l.d.
