hi all ! this may seem like an oddball, but i had the case of someone sending me some photos via e-mail, and it seems that he screwed up... it seems he copy/pasted them in the body of the text and when the e-mail was sent they were converted into txt format...you know,the long stream of characters and exactly what looks like when you select notepad to view a pic. i tried to cut /paste the stuff , rename it as jpg, and open it but to no success. it seems i cannot figure out how much of the trailing and leading characters to include, or i am using the wrong approach alltogether. Now i have also tried to contacting the company again,and get the pics properly, but they did not respond. So i'll have to do with what i have in hand... Hence comes the question...did you have any such case? any further suggestions? thanks beforehand, kostas ============================================================ so... no matter what, CHEER UP MY FRIENDS!
