My email picturers come in with a different extension.  When I try to open
the image a new image software dialog opens up and asked to purchase it, in
order sto view my images.  How can I change the extension on the images, and
view them with one of my image editors?

Thank you,

Vee

This is not an Outlook question.  Outlook will use whatever application you've
configured in Windows for the file type of the attachment.  Change the file
association and you change the application that opens the file.
