I recently emailed an important jpeg image to a colleague, but when he tried to insert it into a document it 'failed'. It appears that when jpegs are attached to messages, they become 'corrupted' - is this a known problem with evolution, and/or is there a way of solving the problem? Andy

He received the mail and he "inserted" it. Well, there's no mention that he saved it and *looked* at it. How do you know that it was corrupted *before* "insertion"?

Some, I used in a Web Site, where I use M$ FrontPage, without any problem. As others have replied, I don't think this is a problem with Evolution. Possibly something is awry with his box, or, the SW he is using? I have seen, recently, if I email an image to or from gmail, to another email acount, there was one occasion where I could not open the file normally. Don't recall the exact details. You might try emailing it to him at his alternate email address.
