James,

go to advanced, click on "attach image" (it looks like an envelope), upload your pictures, then return to your message box and click on "Attachments", it looks like a paper clip. You may need to resize your photos if they are too large to display.

Re-size, how in hell do you do that?
What does it cost?
Then what?

Marcel, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

Then scroll down to IMAGE RESIZER and download that. When it is downloaded click START then MY PICTURES then find the picture you want to resize and right click on it. A box will open. Click on RESIZE PICTURES and choose the size you want (typically small to use here). It will make another picture like the one you chose only smaller size. You can also click one picture then hold down shift key and click another and all the pictures between the two will be highlighted so you can right click on one of them to resize and they will all have another smaller one made.

Try it, it's easy.

Thanks Larry, but I am still running a dinosaur here with 2000 Professional.
It won't let me use it.

Thanks anyway.

Here's one that a client said was great.

http://picasa.google.com/download/

You can click on system requirements and 2000 is there. Anyone have experience with it?


Edit to add link.

Thanks Robert, but which one do I download? There are about half a dozen choices.

Thanks

On the "Download" page they are all just various sites (hosts) to download the basic program file (IrfanView) or the add on accessories (IrfanView Plugins).

Here is one of the links to download the basic Irfanview (Version 3.99) ... http://www.tucows.com/preview/194967

You can resize a single pic once it's open in IrfanView (pretty easy ... "Resize/Resample" from the "Image" pull-down menu) , or do batch resizing from a directory (more involved, so see this tutorial ... http://www.reporthost.com/jtIrfanview1.asp)

Hope that helps ...

Well, I got the darn thing downloaded and now after an hour and one half, it will take me another day to figure out how to get the goddarn picture where I want it and downsize it. Geeze, man, to many buttons to push, and I am not a button pusher. ha. ha.
Where the hell is my grandson, ha. ha.

I wish ... maybe a few thousand more commercial inspections and design jobs, in addition to the HI teaching and p/t work with the family HVAC company, and I will be all set (and actually have more time to just relax) ...
