So... I am not the only one. In 1.61 virtual screens are on but to view
e-mail attachments with large .bmp's horizontal scrolling is not
possible. JPG is coverted (by default) to bmp and does not view OK also.
But... JPG can also be converted to GIF and GIF scrolls fine.
Just one drawback... converting to GIF takes a little longer.

Pentium 1, 200MHz on computer 1 and pentium 1 with 75MHz, both do not
scroll horizontaly.
