    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.

    Use Irfanview free here. When installed and running F1 will bring up Help and you can search for Resize for instructions.
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:

    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 .jpg

    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.
