I think the first thing to do is to create a picture file that msn.com
recognises. Then when you try to upload it, you will be prompted to
download a "uploader" program if you do not already have one. I remember
distinctly that I had to download that small file from msn.
Otherwise, I think Hans can do some conversion for you.
