What size are the attachements? Who is your ISP and the receipient's ISP? All have different limits for file attachments. For example, GMail is 30MB.
Resize the pics to something more suitable, you don't need to send average 4MB pics just to view them on a PC.
If they have to be sent hi-res, break them up into smaller batches, or use one of the suggested FTP alternatives.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
Thanks,how do i resize them?0

right click the picture> open with > paint
windows 7 - resize
XP / Vista > stretch / skew (in one of the menus)
resize to 50% and make sure they're saved as .jpg0 -
You will still need to work within the maximum file attachment size that your and your recipient's ISP can accept though. Right click>Properties will show you the size.
If you don't know the maxima, stay below 10MB for each batch you send.No free lunch, and no free laptop0
