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? Curiouser and curiouser. -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.
