I get some emails with jpeg files in them. If I want to view them, in K9 it gives a choice to view or save. I can not view because the only two programs that it gives me the choice of are rockplayer and esvideo player. If I save then I can open with picture viewer. Is there to set the default for jpeg files to be the program of my choice?

All defaults are handled from here: [Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage Applications] and you click on the application. Once in you can click "Clear defaults" if any are set.

However, sounds like nothing is set to default cause it is giving you a choice. Not sure where the stock picture viewer is but might try dl a viewer from the market then selecting it as default for those type of files. Should work then.

I'm using K9 as well and pictures open up fine without having to save them.

Most do just ones that jpeg it is recognized as a video rather than a picture. Have a viewer will look to see if it gives me a choice of extensions to choose from. I tried opening it with the native email program and it opened fine just not with K9.

Have you tried Quickpic from the Market? Good pic viewer.
