Don:
If you have Internet Explorer do the following:
- Open Internet Explorer
- Drag the JPG image into it (don't worry if it's currently displaying another page - when you drop it it will abandon that page and display the JPG image)
- Use your mouse to right click on the image
- Select "Save Picture"
- The Save dialog will appear. Under file types it will say JPG, but you can use the drop down option to change it to BMP
- Enter a name with a bmp extension and Save it
This works because Windows always converts images to bitmaps in memory in order to display them. IE is simply allowing you to save it as such.

Just wondering... why would you want to send it .bmp (MUCH LARGER file size) instead of .jpg?
