In this example, the E-mail selected has the 1Lioncut.jpg file attached. It is the one we sent in the Send E-mail example.

You will need to click on the Yes button to download the picture. If you do not want to have to do this each time you download a picture, you can also click on the Don't show me this warning again box.
