[DM-MUG] Help Sending JPG's to AOL

[David Thrasher]

A slightly different topic: Wasn't there some problem (perhaps still is) with JPEGs that come from AOL? I seem to remember there was some sort or propriatary coding on those that made them impossible to view unless you were using AOL's software. I seem to remember having to tell people with AOL to put their JPEGs in an archive first before sending them. Is AOL still up to this trick?

Hello
In the Mail program supplied with OS X when you attach something there 
is a check box at the bottom of the selection window that says Send 
Windows friendly attachments. AOL has a hard time with inlinge graphics 
from any platform. Express files are completely unreadable. My boss 
uses AOL on a PC so I have a lot of experience with this. Chris

Someday you will find that there is a difference between wanting and 
having.
