Sorry Farmer 1 but I probably have mislead you. I have no problem sending the attachement, it is the function of being able to reduce the photo file size I am having a problem with.
On my laptop, if I right click on a photo file, one of the menu options is "send to" and if I then select "email recipient", Windows then asks me if I want to reduce the file size for emailng.
The message implies it is a Windows function rather than one of Outlook Express and I want my desktop pc to do the same.
The Windows help files describe the function but doesn't say anything about being able to switch the function on or off.
I don't want to have to continue opening the file with a photo editor and manualy reucing file sizes every time I want to email a photo from my desktop.
Call me lazy if you like.!
