thats rather odd, windows should be able to open progressive jpegs just fine out of the box, however sending AOL instant messanger cant handle the pictures unless they are first saved from the IM window and then opened and since AOL email can open them just fine, I find that a little odd (AIM tends to have more features for free than AOL users are paying for)
since you are emailing hte pictures you might as well not use p-scan (see if that solves the problem) because it would make the file size a little bit larger (a little little bit) and could make your saving/processing time longer. You dont really need it because with email they will probobaly have the whole picture downloaded before they view it and you dont need the low quality scans that p-scan jpegs create for the sake of people with slow internet connections -----Original Message----- From: Quadlist [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Denny Davis Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 11:30 AM To: Quadlist Subject: Re: E Mail question At 11:36 PM -0500 on 12/25/02, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wittily wrote: >I hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas. > >I have a small conundrum that you folks may be able to help me with.

The Solution is to do a Save As and make sure that you uncheck Progressive checkbox, you should find it in the Prefs or in the Save Dialog there is a Options button that you can click. Then send it again making sure that you have .jpg at the end of the name. :-} <<<+=+=+=>>> "I'm sure we can all pull together, sir." "Oh, I do hope not, I really do hope not.
