IE 6.0.2800.1106CO saves picture files to the wrong extension.
The problem is not the same as is covered in any problem reports
I've been able to locate.

Say I want to save a picture that appears on a web page. I
right click over the pic and IE tries to save it as
"01_float_return_ap.jpe". It is not any kind of file made
for the Journal of Applied Ecology, nor does it have anything
to do with Java Partner Engineering. Nor is it in Japanese.
It's a simple jpeg picture!! Netscape 4.61 correctly saves
it as "01_float_return_ap.jpg", why can't IE?

The kind of advice I've seen handed out, to just edit the file
name and change the extension, is moronic. This is not a useful
feature we are talking about here, it's an irritating, time-
wasting, any-dolt-should-have-caught-it-in-B-test BUG.

may or may not have anything to do with your problem.
