Firefox may not recognize the file extension as an image file and falls back to text/plain.

Do the files work when the file extension is .jpg instead of jpeg?

Sorry let me correct something and give you some additional info. First I spelled .jpg wrong, and second my phone will send pictures to my mail 60 or so % of the time as .jpg and everything is fine but for no apparent reason some times they go thru as ,txt to my hotmail account email. I will also add if I copy a friend with the same picture they will get it as .jpg and be fine.
