Transferring pictures to an old T68i - how?

The missus has inherited an old SE T68i and I am charged with
transferring a new desktop picture across via bluetooth.

Whenever I try and transfer the file from my laptop it says that the
phone cant accept this filetype. It allows the transfer anyway and it
goes into "my pictures" but it shows a big red cross on the piccy icon
and all you can do is delete it.

I,ve saved as both a jpg or gif that I have scaled down to 200x100 and
is about 20K. I am doing this from my Mac although I dont think that's
an issue - I will try a peecee later when one free's up.

Anyone got any suggestions as to how to do this ?

Thanks a lot

I think I may have cracked it - it was saving qith a Quicktime icon
(from the Mac) - I have unchecked that and it sent across ok

Thanks
