It's not a 'bad file type' any more that DOC is a bad file type. BMP is a Windows Bit MaP file. It's not very efficient, but nor is a SpriteFile. If you can't read that file, then either the file is corrupt (easy enough with e-mail) or you haven't got ImageFS (or whatever you use) set up to convert BMP files.
