Not strictly Europa but we do send and receive a lot of images.
Just a heads up for a new vulnerability, a pretty big one:
http://asia.cnet.com/news/security/0,39037064,39193726,00.htm
"Microsoft published on Tuesday a patch for a major security flaw in its
software's handling of the JPEG graphics format and urged customers to use a
new tool to locate the many applications that are vulnerable.
The critical flaw has to do with how Microsoft's operating systems and other
software process the widely used JPEG image format and could let attackers
create an image file that would run a malicious program on a victim's
computer as soon as the file is viewed. Because the software giant's
Internet Explorer browser is vulnerable, Windows users could fall prey to an
attack just by visiting a Web site that has affected images."
