Microsoft Outlook - e-mail pictures


Expert: Nancy Janyszeski - 5/7/2009

Question
QUESTION: I have windows xp, my e-mail works works fine sending and receiving, but the problem that I have is I can only send 1 picture from my pictures in the computer. I used to be able to send 6,8,10 at a time, when I click on multiple pictures it ask if i want to make them smaller so they can go out e-mail like it always did ,but when it click on the e-mail it comes up operation failed but it will let me send one picture per e-mail at a time. Help John Thanks
P.S. Maybe my emal settings are not right.

ANSWER: John, I checked on an XP machine and selected multiple images from My Computer, right click > Send to... > mail recipient

I was prompted to make images smaller and choose keep original size.

I am thinking that either your images are too big in file size or you have changed your security settings or you might be on a network that is prohibiting you from multiple attachments.

Have you tried opening an email form and using the attachment feature?

Answer
John, you need to review your virus protection software options.  I don't know which one  you are using.  This is the application that is probably blocking you.

you might also do a search in your browser like google on the following text...
