A while back M$ produced a host fix for IE/OE that deems JPEG files a security risk and stops users from opening or displaying them. Is this a problem that exists for all attached images or is it just images sent from Linux mail clients? I only use Evolution for email so I'm not sure how to works between OE and OE. Anyone else seen this sort of errant behaviour from OE?
I think I recall a bug that a jpeg file with a malicious header could cause a buffer overflow in the MS jpeg handler, but I thought their fix merely fixed their library... I don't recall their fix being to disable jpegs completely. If they disabled every filetype that might be a security risk.... Then again I don't use windows email clients. Perhaps the content type of the attachment is causing problems? John.
