What i meant was to hold the option key down then move the mouse over
the jpg and a small menu should appear. There will be one that says open
attachment while still holding the option key move the mouse over the
menu option and click the mouse.
This may open the jpg for you. This key is also used to add addresses
to your address book but only when you hold the mouse over an Email address.
Hope this clears it up.

That will probably be the "control" key rather than the "option" key.
That's the one that will bring up contextual menus, which is what I
think you're meaning here.
