Cannot Open .JPG Files Attached To An Email

If I receive a .jpg file attached to an email, I cannot open the .jpg file
with the default program set as Windows Photo Galery. If I change the
default program for a .jpg file to another program, example PhotoElements, it
works.

In order to view the picture with Windows Photo Galery, I have to first save
the photos into a folder. Then I can use Photo Galery to view or edit them.

The error message says opening a .jpg is not supported.

I should add to this that I don't know if I have a problem or not. Is this
the way it works or should I be able to view the attachments in Windows Photo
Galery directly from the email?
