Please either repost to your original thread or post back with details
about your problem. Since you didn't post back to the original thread,
no one can tell what you're talking about.

As a generalization, if someone sends you an attachment and you aren't
getting it:

1. If you are using Outlook Express, ability to open/save attachments is
disabled by default. Go to Tools>Security and change the option if
you're really sure you want to do this. Please make sure you have a
current (post-2002 version) antivirus installed using updated
definitions.

2. Perhaps the pictures are really large and your ISP doesn't permit
attachments over a certain size.
