E-mail image problem - Correction

    This is an f-16/64 computer with Thunderbird 12.0.1 which I believe is
    up to date. I don't get e-mail messages with photos in them
    everyday, sometimes not for weeks, but recently when I do they not
    only fail but all I see is a listing in the messages with perhaps a
    meg for the size and nothing else, just a blank message devoid of
    text and the usual items that allow me to write a response.

    When I go into the Thunderbird Mail file and look at the raw message
    it appears the message cuts off after a few lines of the image file.
    An example, I've trimmed the beginning but left everything else to
    the end.:

          Here Bob,

           I'm sending this right from my phone. See if this works.

    He says he sent that from his phone but he tried from his computer
    earlier and just over the last few days I've had several episodes
    like that from several correspondents, all running some version of
    Windows.

    Any thoughts on what is wrong?

    Bob
