Googlemail: Cannot attach photos to emails

sindersoot

Need help please in simpletons terms how to set up to enable photos currently held within "pictures" file to be attached to emails sent via googlemail? Keep getting a message saying "there is no email programme associated to perform the requested action". Using Windows 7. Previously had emails directed via Office Outlook but no longer have that software.

Tried setting the basic attachment feature with googlemail but didn't make any difference. Also tried the advance setting but it didn't work either.

I dont think you need any special email programme UNLESS i do not understand your question well.

I use gmail and a attached attachments,

Can you be more clearer.

I'll try:)

When clicking on a photo in "pictures" file I used to be able to send it as an attachment with my emails automatically, however since I no longer use Office Outlook I don't seem to be able to attach photos to emails. Keep getting message as shown in above post.

I am wondering if I need to set something up to be able to send pics as attachments now that I no longer use Outlook.

Hope that helps a bit - don't know too much about pcs.

Try this link on mail.google.com here it basically sets it through gmail notifier,
I also think there is an option with google toolbar if installed, but I don't like Toolbars .
Another otion is to use Thunderbird as your email client, I have used it for years, but some people have had "problems with corrupt profiles" , I never have had though.

OP You can approach this in two ways, start in Google Mail and use the attachment feature to search for the picture file you want, or you could download Picasa and use its e-mail feature to send your pictures.

You can now just drag the files into your google mail message
