I recently emailed an important jpeg image to a

jpegs are attached to messages, they become 'corrupted' -
is this a
known problem with evolution, and/or is there a way of solving the problem?
I'm missing a crucial part here: verification. He received
the mail and he
"inserted" it. Well, there's no mention that he saved it
and *looked* at
it. How do you know that it was corrupted *before* "insertion"?
Good point - having investigated the matter further, it appears that this is another compatibility issue between Microsoft and the rest of us! My colleague was trying to insert the jpeg image into a MS Publisher document, having saved the image etc. The image was not 'accepted' by MS Publisher, whereas when I ran a test to insert the same emailed image into an OpenOffice document it worked fine! So I was mistaken to say that the image was corrupted - I'll just have to pass the image to my colleague by means other than email.

Nonesense.. Have you ever herd of tarring up and gziping the file then email it. I never have that problem with Evolution. Your friend can also download 7zip for Windows to open it.
