xnview was great but only for viewing (no print option!!!)
This live below worked a treat and the clues were provided by Angus, Jeff and Anand:
convert {1}.tif {1}.ps ; gv {1}.ps
I also tried the above with pdf/xpdf but it broke and also took forever.
ps rocks! So does convert! Also gv! I'm getting carried away here again aren't I. Ahem.
Now to turn the above into a script and add it as a mime type so that evolution will add it to open with...
The mission here is to replace Outlook/windows viewer functionality and thus consign it to the dustpit of time.

I'd say, for higher quality, there is no subsitute for TIFF, as far as bit
mapped images go.
tiff is a "container" format, so what format you really have inside a .tiff is really what determines the image's characteristics.
in pretty much all cases you can strip off the tiff header and use the contents in its "native" format (bmp, jpeg, g3, etc) - there is of course no different in image quality.
even if you were converting between lossless image formats (pretty much anything except jpeg), you shouldn't see any difference (they're lossless after all).
