Ahhh, who can resist the fun of modifing digital pictures using a web browser?
Not me.

Especially when you throw Einstein into the mix.

Forwarding picture emails in OSX?

Has anyone out there had problems with forwarding emails that contain pictures using Macintosh OSX’s mail program? (I’m using Tiger, but my wife said this happened in previous versions as well.)

Here is what happens:
Someone with a Windows machine sends me an email with pictures in it.
I receive it and can easily view the pictures.
I then forward the email to someone else with a windows machine. They cannot see the pictures and instead the email contains an attachment of the original email that contains an attachment of the same email which contains an attachment of the same email, apparently continuing forever. However the pictures are nowhere to be seen.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Any ideas on how to avoid/prevent it?

I haven’t been able to reproduce the problem when I have tried sending an email from my PC, but I use Thunderbird on the PC, so maybe it only happen is the original sender is Outlook Express?
It happens often enough that my wife switched to Thunderbird on her Mac.

I suppose I should look at the raw email and see if anything looks strange.
