Sending photo's via email problem

[Cazzie]

I have to send a load of photos to a friend and i tried to do it via email last night, the emails have all been returned un delivered and another thing when I went to check what had been sent it seems like the photo attachments cant be opened 

Any ideas

Possibly size of the photos, I know I've tried to send a batch of 2 -3 photos as attachments and they look like they have gone but can't be delivered due to the size and restrictions on size of files being sent or received.

Try reducing the size of the photos -  I use Microsoft Office picture manager (Edit photos - large web which takes them to 640) its in Microsoft office tools on my comp think it was part of the programme, then attach as normal.

Is it possible to upload them via photobucket and then sending a link

If all else fails make them small files on your pc, then insert files into word? (cos if you just copy and paste a huge file in and only make the pic tiny it still takes up bags of memory)

Not sure about that  They are to be used on a website

The recipient could still right click and save the pics.

If attachments don't open in Outlook, try clicking on "forward" and they tend to show as openable links. It's the only way I can ever open attachments for some reason.

If you are using XP and the pictures are stored on your PC, I just hi-light them, right click send to, mail recipient, my mail program opens and asks if I want to send them full size or make them smaller.....when smaller they shrink down to a decent size and I've sent 20 pictures in one e-mail no trouble.

Gosh sory folks, i forgot I posted this 

My friend came down as he was fed up with me  What he did was make a new file and dragged the photos over and then saved them on to a disc.

Thanks for all your tips as I will put them into practice in the future, and sorry I didnt get back
