Re: file format - jpg

Since i know nothing I will just point out that some
people's picture appear as part of their message and 
I do not have to download them,  others say do  you
want to download and require installation sometimes of
accrobat or other software i usually choose no on
these, since I am concerned about downloading a virus,
and usually they take more time than I have. I have
not kept track of who it is I never view but i am sure
there are a couple of folks that never get their
pictures seen. I think we all approach this as
something mysterious.
