Often - -if I 'send, lets ay - 3 or 4 'attachments, and the images are in 'jpg' format...when the recipient GETS the 'e-mail' those images SOMEHOW have been 'changed' to 'ZIP files"! Seems mostly to happen when I send to someone on 'Netscape' OR 'wmconnect'.

Zip isn't a new format for your images, it's just a method of compressing them, so that the recipient can receive them, without going over their storage quota.
Once the recipient has these, they can unzip them, and the files will un-compress, and be available in their original format.

it compresses them; zip is a compressed format. You just unzip the folder (win xp does it on its own, or can "open" the zipped folder). If it actually changed the file extentions by some weird chance from ".jpg" to ".zip", then go to tools>folder options>view and uncheck the box named "hide extensions for known file types". This will allow file extentions to become a part of the file name and you can change them.
