Thread Name: BS TechHelp email Attchmt to JPG on disk
Subject: RE: BS TechHelp email Attchmt to JPG on disk
Okay, I'll restate it. I'm on Netscape 7.1, running XP Pro. The attachment file is named IMG_0370.jpg, as I recall the name. This opens fine on screen, and prints fine.
I have previously, with Netscape 4.76, routinely and successfully saved such images to disk by right-clicking and choosing "Save As" whatever. Indeed, I have done that with a previously received copy of one of the two attachments in this email. Neither this copy of that photo nor the new photo will do anything.
On right-clicking and choosing "SAVE AS" whatever (using DAVEDULC as the name, and alternatively using IMG_0370), and also doing the same thing and including the "jpg" ending, I get "done" at the bottom of the screen. When I look on the desktop, which was the displayed target directory, no such icon appears.
In case I haven't said so, the same thing happens (or DOESN'T happen) when I deal with the copy of the old photo I received in the same email.
Getting out and using START/SEARCH, searching the whole system for "all files and folders" with such names, I find no similarly named file.
Incidentally, I sent this image to myself from 7.1, and then got on Netscape 4.76, which I have used in the past and been successful with this operation, and received the email from myself bearing this image. It opens fine, and prints fine, but will not save for me in 4.76 either.
I have emailed my friend, asking for a retransmission of the new photo, just based on the possibility that there might be something wrong with the email, which then caused the malfunction. Seems unlikely, but possible, I suppose. I have had no problems with similar images he has sent me previously.
