Hi Maestro,
I agree with Kelly. I cannot reproduce this issue on my side. Did you
experience this problem with every post that has an image attachment? Does
this issue occur on other machines? Does this issue also occur with
non-image files?
In addition, I'd like to know what the newsgroup you were viewing is.
Sincerely,
William Wang
