Sending .jpeg images via E-mail

I have Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 and have been sending optimized .jpeg photos which have been less than 150 kb via e-mail. The recepients of these pictures cannot view the sent .jpeg file. What can I do differenent or is it the recepients software or lack of for opening photos?

Thanks in Advance!

I've had email photos not go through for a number of reasons, as you stated, sometimes the recipient doesn't have an adequate default photo opener, some of the free emails (like earthlink) "lose" attachments, also some firewalls will remove an attachment. I've gone to inserting (outlook express) rather than attaching. I just resize to 448 x 336 pixels so it all fits on the screen and insert with the text.

There is the possibility, if the recipients are using Outlook, that their client is set to block the ability to view attachments. I believe they can fix this by going to Tools-->Options-->Security Tab. Uncheck "Block attachments" or something to that effect.

A lot of times that you do Windoze updates, this setting will get changed (to block attachments). It tells you that attachments can be viruses and the world will come to an end if you allow attachments (paraphrased) so most people probably won't uncheck it if they come across it anyway.

There is an excellent FREE fullly featured graphics program called http://www.gimp.org/ This is available on Windows and Linux. Many people also use http://www.irfanview.com/ Which is PC only.

However anyone should be able to view a JPEG even through internet explorer since images on the web are mostly jpeg or gif (yes I know the other names as well)

Are you or are they using a Mac?
