Try renaming one to, for example, a.jpg

as advised try renaming them (remove.orig make sure the file ending is recognizable as .jpg)

using a Mac??
Windows will question you if you try to rename with bad file endings and if the Apple OS renamed them funny they will not open w/o the correct ending after the dots on a Windoz comp

I notice many Mac users send me files similarly and incorrectly named I am thinking the renaming features and the way the systems use the files are not similar

I can think of a few instances
A Mac OS will send two files for each image, one will look blank to Win users one will be the image file
A mac made CD named all the files beginning with _ an unrecognizable character on some CD programs in Windoz (these did open on another Win comp with diff CD reader)
My Mac user friend sends me files like mypicture.zip.#1 which will not open unless properly re-named to mypicture.zip
