If I attach a file (photo) from my Outlook Express account, using the "attach
file function", everything works fine, i.e. file gets attached and becomes
quite viewable.

HOWEVER, IF I BEGIN AT MY SOURCE FILE LOCATION, HIGHLIGHT A PARTICULAR
PICTURE (PHOTO)...AND ATTEMPT TO E-MAIL IT...

IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get an error message stating unable to contact host "mmm", etc. In other
words, starting the process from the file location does NOT work.

I do not know why.

Can any one please help me??

Thanks and regards,

FLKulchar
