I am using yahoo to receive my emails,but when I try and send the email on to my friends, by the way it is only A4 size or smaller, the person I am sending it to cannot open the letter ,the file is to large, and when I try and send 3or 4 it takes ages to send , whats the answer,I save them and they go into my temp file and send them as jpeg files. HELP, I have just had windows xp loaded on my system,but it does not have a faxing system as on widows 98, how do i obtain one. ?

How big (bytes) is the file you want to send? i_XpUser

You can reduce the file size by reducing the color depth. But in ant case email is hampered because an attachment must be 'encoded' to go as email because email is intrinsically text. Try www.yousendit.com M2

You might try compressing and zipping the file. Lots of freeware utilities available to do the job.

Can't you just use the zip utility XP provides? If you have multiples, zip them into one folder. You can reduce the size by doing this, pictures, I believe, will significantly reduce in size when zipped.

Most jpegs are already in compressed form. Zipping actually increases the file size as you have to add the zip code to it. Mechanix2Go has the right idea. By reducing the color depth you decrease the file size. ___________________________________________ ☺ When everything else fails, read the instructions.

If you download Ms powertoys it gives a right click option to resize pic's or you can do it this way - go to my pic's select the pic's you want to e-mail click on e-mail on the left side and an option window appears to resize them for mailing If I dont know, somebody will.
