Sam,

Send them by ATTACHING them to your email. Most programs have a little icon at the top of your email screen for this purpose. For example, Microsoft Outlook has a picture of a paper clip. Click on the icon, then go to your picture files and double click on the name of the picture you want to attach. The picture file will then go out with your email.

Sam, since you have AOL, there is an easier way to send a picture without using an attachment.
Look for the little camera icon at the far right of the screen when you start to write an email.
Click it and you can insert a picture right in the body of the email.

Inserting pictures in the body of an email is usually better than making them attachments. Some people simply will not open attachments of any kind for security reasons and will dump your email unread.

However, those that have webtv cannot see pictures that are embedded in e-mails and the same with those that have an ASCII only e-mail service (not an HTML). With those services you must attach the file for them to see it. I've forwarded e-mails that had pictures embedded in the message and they always send me a message that they can't see the pictures, so I now attach the pictures and they can view them.

Pictures are hard to download when you have to use dial up like I do. They can also take a long time to send. What I do is open "My Pictures", or wherever the picture is, right click on it and it gives a "send picture to..." option. I click on "mail recepient". It then gives me an option to make all my pictures smaller for sending by email. Click OK. It will then take you to your outlet express. They seem to go much faster this way. The draw back is you have to send each picture separately, but is still faster.
