Cannot Send JPGs via Outlook Express 6

[Lisa]

I'm trying to upload and send JPGs via Outlook Express 6. The pix size is
2.87mb and outlook shows it is trying to send but eventually stalls and
fails. I used to do this with no problem. Is it the size of the pix? I tried
to send a few photos last month and eventually gave up. I just tried again
and after 3 hours, I have given up again. Any suggestions?

=================================
Probably file size is limited by your ISP...
try reducing the size of the images.

I guess you're running WinXP or you wouldn't
be here...right?

OK, go to the following link and download and
install: ImageResizer.exe

http://tinyurl.com/36n

Then you can open any folder that contains
images and you will have an option to resize.
Just right click the selected image files and
choose Resize Pictures from the menu. You
can select one image or a whole group.

The program will place the resized copies in
the folder with your originals.
(Tip: *Never* overwrite your originals)

To insure that images in both portrait and
landscape orientation are resized to the
same dimensions...go to...Advanced...
and enter the largest number in both fields.
IOW...for 600x800...enter 800 in both fields.
