I hadn't thought of that. Will try that first in future if the problem resurfaces. Can't do it now because the original jpg no longer exists. I opened it in Photoshop Elements and "saved it for the web". Then resent it and it was received as an attachment. This jpg was the first photo downloaded from my digital camera that I tried to send as an attachment. I use Canon Image Browser to organize my photos. This program creates a special thumbnail icon for each photo. I'm wondering now if that might have caused the problem which was "fixed" by Photoshop Elements. Don't know enough about such things but at least found a way round it. Irene Irene
