A proper XV always could read them as can the gimp. I'm going to make some wild guesses here. Ian mailed using Mutt, which suggests he *may* be using linux. If so, chances are it's a RedHat distro, which means he may not have upgraded his libjpeg which was broken in the 5.1 version of Redhat. Therefore his xv may not like the jpegs when mine (On an upgraded redhat) is fine. Probably all wrong, but it's the only explanation I can think of. Either that or his browser's munging them on the way down. What exactly does xv complain about? Lee. -- I was doing object-oriented assembly at 1 year old ...
