Forcing browsers to open email attachments in browser, not download them

[Droooooj]

Not sure if this is a Hotmail thing or a browser thing, but if someone attaches a jpeg to an email I recieve in Hotmail, when I click it in Firefox I get a dialogue box asking:

What should Firefox do with this file? Open With [choose...] or Save file?

In Safari, it just automatically downloads the picture to the default download location and then auto opens it with Preview.

This is so annoying! How do I set my browsers to just open jpegs within the browser?

Right click and "View Image in a New Window" (or Tab).

The links to the attachments in Hotmail are javascript links, so there is no option to view image in new tab/window.

:-/

(Also, this got the same thing happening in Yahoo mail too, btw)

oh, that's unfortunate. Forward your hotmail to Gmail then

...not viable really......

Anyone else got a solution?

Have you considered using Mail for your hotmail account? That would bypass Safari's behaviour and you could quick view the attachment.

I've got like, a billion different online email accounts, and it's not just me it's other family members on their macs that are getting narked by this, so would prefer to find a way of configuring/hacking the browsers I use regularly (or system prefs if it's that).

Anyone have a solution for this?
