The server is sending the wrong MIME type for the picture. This isn't a
problem in IE, as it ignores the MIME type and looks at the extension.
For instance, if you name it picture.zip IE will attempt to open your
zipping/unzipping program. If you rename a picture to picture.zip with
Mozilla, but the server still sends image/jpeg, the picture will display
correctly. It's a server issue. Tell them, "Your server sends the
wrong MIME type for an image"
