I get error message: The application used to open this file may not be
working or may be missing. Would you like to save the file instead? I
cannot save the file either.

=============================
What happens if you try to save it to
your desktop?

If you know who sent the file, ask them
to rename it to something more sensible
and resend it.

If you do not know who sent it...delete
the message and be glad you could not
open it.

The file name has been "HTML-ized" by converting special characters
to "=<decimal ascii value>". For example, =2E represents ASCII 2E,
or period.

If you rename the file with a .jpg suffix, then it will open fine.
