Bug: does not open .jpeg

I got an email @yahoo, with 2 files attached. One file is a .xls an the other file is a .jpeg. If I click download on the .xls file, Opera brings up a window with the options of Help, Cancel, Save and Open. I select Open (with OpenOffice Calc) and the .xls it will be opened.

The problem appear for the .jpeg image, because if I choose to Open with Opera, nothing happens. If I choose to open with GIMP or other program, it is ok.

I suppose it is a bug on .jpeg openings.

The "bug" is that the link tells Opera to download the file rather than display the file itself, would be nicer if Yahoo would let the browser handle it ...

There is a common issue in Windows with trying to view an image that the link specifies as a download, I suppose I'm glad you didn't get the loop Windows users get if they make that mistake. But a more elegant solution would be preferred ...
