18775	2001-09-13 23:00:00	Hi I have received by email some graphics files in jpg format but can't open them in IE. They were sent from a MAC but I assumed that jpg files were fully compatible regardless of platform. They can be opened in Freeview Graphics Viewer but the images are corrupted with a vertical venetian blind effect and very weak colour. Any ideas? Should the sender have chosen a 'jpg for window' option or something like that? Thanks John	Guest (0)
