The image and text in an office document solution would work well if someone has MS Word or MAC Pages or the free Open Office (available for either) and save to forum as a doc or pdf format. The download to view part is still limiting because you have to use bandwidth and time to download something blind --although not terrible for those with fast connections. Saving as a jpg on the forum allows the instant view part--though at some sacrifice of resolution.

A related question for Kev might be is there a quick and dirty way or program on the back end that could convert the first page of a non viewable attachment to a low res thumbnail visible in the forum to let the viewer decide if something is worth downloading.
