Eisboch - off to mess around with Thunderbird now.

I love Thunderbird - it's a great client program.

Firefox I've found has problems displaying non-embedded photos - by
non-embedded, I mean photos that don't have the color curves and
framework embedded into the image. I don't think they've ever fixed
that. It's the same with Opera and that silly Mac program.

Are you talking about the orientation of the photos? I've noticed that if I try
to put a photo in Yahoo Photos after I've changed the orientation, the change
won't take. I've removed the EXIF data and that seemed to work.

No. some browsers, notably Opera, Firefox and that Mac crap, require
embedded color curve and distribution data in the image to properly
display the it. IE doesn't and at one time, Netscape didn't - don't
know if it does now.

EXIF data shouldn't have any effect on orientation - it's just data on
the who, what and where of the technical data on the image.

That's what I thought, about the EXIF data. But, if I changed the orientation
(i.e., rotated) a picture, and then tried to put it in a Yahoo Photo album, the
old orientation would return. Only by rotating and then removing the original
EXIF data was I able to get the new orientation to take in Yahoo. Maybe it's
something to do with Yahoo.
