10/21   umm, is there any browser out there that is going to balk if i feed
        it a .jpg file labeled as a .gif file.  It seems to be no problem
        on windows exploder or mozilla, but what about macs and others?
        \_ why would you want to do such a thing?
            \_ laziness is the primary answer.  The code i'm using calls for
                .gifs i want to use jpgs, i have not found any problem simply
                renamimng my .jpg files to .gif, however, i don't want that
                to end up with a broken image on some Mac. or whatever.
                \_ can you change the code? wrong file extensions are LAME.
                   \_ yeah, no one knows the answer to your question because
                      no one has any experience with doing something this dumb.
                   \_ no, file extensions are lame.  the idea that you'd use
                      the filename to determine the file type is an MS assault
                      on common decency.  "man file".
                      \_ True, but this guy is actively trying to mislead with
                         a bad extension.
