I have been having "nothing but problems" with numerous attempts to zip
photos and send them by email. I have a number of photos that I want to
send to a friend, but they will overwhelm her mailbox unless I find a way to
significantly reduce the size. In the past, I have used ThumbsPlus to
reduce the resolution and then sent photos in batches, but this will still
be too sizable for her box. So, I wanted to zip the photos and send them
that way (something I have never done before). First, I looked at Windows
instructions. The help file says to select "e-mail this file" under file
and folder tasks. However, I can't find a file and folder tasks! The
closest I have come is to go to "send to" under the edit menu in My
Pictures. There is an option there for a compressed (zip) folder, but that
selection indicated that the application associated with them must be
compressed. When I simply tried "send to,"
the size was going to be entirely too large. Next, I tried WinZip. That
"appeared" to work, but it was not actually sent by Eudora (trying test file
to myself), and it looked like the file was still too large.
I contacted another friend by email, and she sent an image of her "My
Pictures" content. From that, I can see that I am "missing" the left-hand
pane where "email this file" should appear. I have looked through various
settings and cannot find any way to get those functions. Can anyone help?
(I am using Classic view in Windows XP-Home Edition.)
