Are you saving these .jpg's in different sizes, one for emailing and one 
for printing ?

When you open a image in GIMP you are basically importing any image type 
into the software, so whilst you are editing in GIMP it is no longer a 
.jpg or .tif or other that you opened it is a .xcf file, hence why you 
now export.  Where previous versions you opened a .jpg and you saved to 
.jpg, it was still a .xcf file while you where editing it but the 
software automatically saved it back to the format you opened it in, 
unless you selected .xcf or others to save it too.
