Well, I'll let Glenn take a piece of this since I don't recall your "cool"
comment when it first turned up. <G>
And I certainly have to agree (gee, I'm agreeable today) that .JPG should
be an approved extension, but I took your message to mean that it was a
.JPG with a funny extension or else I wouldn't have commented.:((
So, I have no idea what the problem might be. Maybe we should mail ourselves
some .GIFs, ZBMs and .JPGs to see if it is only you that has the bad luck.<g>
