Cannot receive emails with attachments jpg

Extra large many of you know, beat us to this topic to death on MSNewsGroups, but nothing helped.  The cause of this problem is now clear, if there is someone left there who gives a hoot.  Unfortunately, the solution has not become clear.

For this reason and several other problems, I have reformatted my HD and not reinstall a clean with my original drive - WIn XP IE6 SP2 OE6.  After getting the essential working again, I sent and received e-mails with attachments jpg without problem.  JOY!

Then I reinstalled IE8.  Talk about any progress - I can no longer receive e-mails with attachments jpg, nor can I make IE8 understand I want to Google for a Home Page.  Goinig back to IE6 did not change the problem.  Once IE8, I'm always unlucky.   But I have my homepage back :-)

I post this as a matter of interest for other care of some people who, if any.  If you do, you have my sympathy, but that's all, because I don't have a fix.

Respecrfully argued,

I will mark this replied in a few days.

Thanks Steve, I should have been more clear.  My (re) install disk was IE6 SP2 OE6 WinXP.  As soon as I was running, I went right to SP3 and IE8 and could not immediately receive an e-mail with an attachment jpg.

And Ben, the short version is any e-mail sent to me with an attachment jpg never appears on my server (the message OR attachment), so there is nothing to download.  The two seem to evaporate in the "ether".  I got probably 50 suggestions on a fix; None have worked.  BTW, I just finished a very complex brochure involving many exchanges of jpg photo.  Not a single one came through.  Very unsatisfactory.

Going back to IE6 and SP2 (which worked when reinstalled) - does not cure the problem.  I'm marking as answer because I have carped at to leave questions unanswered there.  The fact that they have not received response seems not to matter.
