Non-viewable pictures
Greetings All, A friend sent me an email which was supposed to contain a bunch of pictures, none of which showed up when viewing the email in the VIEW→WINDOW SPLIT MODE→FULL-WIDTH PREVIEW PANE. The left column in this view mode shows the icons for the pictures which were a few GIFs but most were just labeled ATTx~1KB where x was a number from 1 to 15. The KB size was different for each picture, varying from less than 1KB to more than 31KB. The only icons which had extensions were the GIFs (.gif). Clicking on a tab at the bottom of the window would reveal each picture individually. However, when I clicked on REPLY and the reply window opened, all the pictures were suddenly viewable in the reply window. Anyone have any ideas as to why this would work this way? -- TIA, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.

Not specifically, but I often get graphics with the extension stripped but the Bat can read them correctly. That is a problem with the sender's system settings or email provider, not with the Bat. Actually the Bat does an excellent job of interpreting these. If all else fails, detach and add the ending JPG of GIF and see what you get. -- Rick Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today. - James Dean v5.3.2 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Saving one of these to my desktop and renaming it so that it had a .jpg extension made it viewable in Zoner Picture Studio (my viewer of choice). Without the extension caused Windows to question what program it should use to open the file. But, why should TB! be unable to display them *except* in the reply window?
