Which version of android?
Which email provider?
Which email app?

Any OS updates or app updates happen lately?

Welcome to Android Central! What happens if you save/download those attached photos to your tablet first, and then open them?

Remember, you need an app that opens .jpg files. Computers don't open files, apps (or programs) do. If you have no picture viewing app set as default, set one (in Settings > Apps & notifications).
