Baffling Nokia 6600 MMS problem - expert help required

I have a Nokia 6600 on contract to Orange. When I am sent a
photo-message the 6600 always interprets the message as "multimedia
presentation". In order to view the photo I have to go to Options,
Objects and then select the .jpg image file before it will display.

To be clear: I am only being sent a picture and the only Object is the
..jpg image. Despite this, the 6600 always treats it as a presentation

The problem does not lie with the sender as I have had photo-messages
sent to me from a variety of phones. I have searched the menus, spoken
to Orange [who were great as always but were unable to solve it] and
re-read the entire 6600 manuals [both the Orange one and the Nokia
one].

My only clue is this: The firmware on this phone has been changed from
the original Orange build [3.42.2] to the standard Nokia build
[3.42.1]. This was done by an official Nokia repair centre to combat
software crashes that I was experiencing.

Before this firmware change photo-messages displayed as pictures as
soon as the arrived. Now, they arrive as described above. Could it be
that the Nokia firmware always handles photo-messages in this manner?
Or can anybody help me with any other explanation - and solution?

Thanks

BW

Orange firmware is V3.49.1
As for your pic message been shown as a presentation this has happened ONCE on mine.
As its only happened once i just thought it was a fault with the phone that sent it???
I don't think that it is down to the firmware, maybe some 3rd party software you have on your phone?

Anybody else any idea's?
