 Place this line into mime.cfg
image/pjpeg             JPG
(this will save it to your cache as .JPG and the the line for file/.jpg
 takes-over and converts it to .BMP for viewing within Arachne)

Restart Arachne and view the original .CNM that has the attachment.


If you also run into this on the web (as I have)<g>
Use this line instead.... 
image/pjpeg             JPG>BMP|$e\\djpeg32.exe -bmp -colors 256 $1 $2
(--------------------------------------------------- ^^^^^^^^^^^ -----)
(remove -colors 256 if you want the .BMP to remain in Hicolor)

(also, drop the 32 from djpeg32.exe for <386 machines)
