Using WinXP and OE6 on a Dell laptop. IrfanView is my default image viewer,
and over all I like it. One problem, though. When I open an image file that
is attached to an email, I then can't close IrfanView. I have to involve
Task Manager, and still I keep getting told for a while that the program
can't be ended. (It doesn't matter what format the picture is in; I've
opened JPEGs and PNGs, for example.)

If I open image files that aren't attachments, I have no trouble closing the
program. If I open attached files in either of the two Microsoft programs
installed on my computer, I have no problem closing the programs.

I updated IrfanView to the latest release, and there is no change. I emailed
Irfan Skiljan, and he said no one else has this problem. I'm curious if
anyone here has experienced this issue with either IrfanView or any other
image viewer.

Thank you!
