Thumbnail Color Space?

Hi,

I've noticed that the color of my thumbnails is much different than the actual image. It's probably not noticeable to most people, but it's noticeable to me.

For example the thumbnail for this photo: http://photos.aballs.com/Travel/Spain/el-Bulli/12981352_Bt73N#939040417_q2uYt

shows the fish as like neon-pink.

The problem occurs on color managed browsers (Firefox3). In IE/Chrome both the thumb and the actual image are overly saturated (on my monitor).

Help?
I like to make pretty pictures. Maybe one day I'll be good at it.

    Thumbnails do not include the colorspace information, but the larger versions do. I think Smugmug is doing this because the colorspace information makes the thumbnails noticeably larger and thus they load slower. I do wish there was a better way to solve that issue. When it's noticeable, it does look quite odd.
