You have misunderstood the format, what you have to put there is the
base64 encoding of me.jpeg, not its name.  I think you can use a tool
called ldif to help you in that, but I never tried.

ldapsearch, like all our clients, is brainless and does not know that
jpegphoto is not a string and shows what you put there interpreting it
as a perfect printable string.

The icon of a broken link?  Very probably, Netscape *knows* that the
attribute is a jpeg image, tries to render it and fails.
