My Mail application has started doing something strange: When I copy a
JPEG to paste it into an outgoing email, Mail is converting it to a
TIFF. How do I make it stop? I've checked the Preferences, but there's
nothing there that seems to apply.

OS X 10.5.8

Tact is for people who aren't witty enough to be sarcastic.

Ok, I've always known about the cookies thing and erasing (or not
accepting ) them, but things have moved on.
How is it that now I am getting several specific singular ads
following me around websites, forums and anything else?
I clear cookies, caches and went so far as to dump the entire HISTORY
in Safari wondering what it is that identifies me and brings these
singular things onto my screen.
Any thoughts?

They're probably using your IP address for geolocation, which is why
most of the ad-supported websites I hit seem to have ads for Tucson
Mother makes money fast! and the like.
My suggestion is ignore the ads. If you really want ot browse in
private, use Incognito windows in Chrome, or Priavte Browsing in
Safari, etc.
Owners of websites DO have some control over what ads are placed on
them, so if there's something egregiously offensive tell the
webmaster of the site in question.

They track your IP address also, so you'll need to use something like
Tor to remain more anonymous. Even Tor can be tracked with some
effort. I have cable which is supposed to be dynamic IP, but AFAIK
they rarely if ever change my IP. If I started hosting they'd probably
pop my IP just to make it more difficult for me, after all, they're
not a bi-directional information super highway, they're one-way
intravenous ads for fun profit.
As in all things, there is a cost to be paid to remain anonymous, in
this case Tor results in a noticeable increase in latency before
webpages load, the cost of slicing dicing all those packets across
all those anonymous Tor nodes.
Tor on a PPC Mac may be difficult to setup now. AFAIK you use Vidalia
for PPC, but finding a browser may be harder, I suspect you'll need
TenFourFox or something with plugins enabled and a Tor plugin? The
current Tor Browser Bundle required OS X 10.6+ and Intel, so getting
Tor working on PPC may be a bit of a challenge now, but I'm sure it
can be done. Just search Tor PPC or Vidalia PPC.
Here are current PPC versions of Vidalia to get you started:

Much simpler to find someone else's wifi to get on the internet :-)
