"Stationery" in MAIL crashes the app-Help!

I did two things for the first time today. I "Saved as Stationery" a nice jpg file

that someone sent me as their stationery in an email. Then, for the very first

time, I tried to send an email by clicking on "Show Stationery," and it made

MAIL quit immediately. So I relaunched MAIL and tried again. Same thing,

MAIL quit. So I Repaired Permissions, and tried a third time -- this time I got

to see some samples of stationery, but before I could pick one, MAIL quit.

Why is "Show Stationery" crashing my MAIL app? Could it be the jpg file I

saved earlier? If so, should I try to remove it? I'd love some feedback! :-)

Replying to my own message, I found a reply to a similar question, and it solved my problem. I did, indeed, have to get rid of the file I had "Saved as Stationery." The message that told me how to do it was found here:

Sorry I didn't find this discussion before I sent out my plea. [I did a search with "stationery" and "mail" and "crash," but was told there were no such discussions. Oh, well...
