Hi Thanks for helping with my little problems.
Tried both your suggestions to narrow down the attachment problem. Both ways
you suggested worked very well. Strange that I can't attach in the way I've
always done in the past.
The jpeg problem. More explanation and why I don't think it is corrupted
images. When a directory is first opened that contains images the images
that can be viewed in Thumbnails mode can be previewed as would be expected.
Scroll the directory window to view previously hidden jpegs and we see just
jpeg icons without the preview.
After writing the paragraph above I thought I'd do as you say and load a
jpeg into Photoshop Elements2. This jpeg was one of a screenfull of jpegs
that showed no preview. Once loaded into PE2 I did no more than just resaved
the file as a jpeg, but with a diferent name. I then closed PE2 to reveal
the open directory window. All the icons in the part of window visiable are
now showing a preview of their image, were they were not before loading PE2.
Confusing!
