For Outlook users (like me), there is a pull-down menu with a paper-clip on
the right of the preview pane. Just pull that down and choose it to open it.
Irfanview associates jp2 with it (annoyingly, it associated a lot more than
that, even though I told it not to) and it will pop-up really quick. It
really isn't a signficant of work, IMHO.

Irfanview is available at:
http://www.irfanview.com/

Make sure you download BOTH the program AND the plug-ins. Total install time
is about 2 minutes or less.
