Sending Photos in an e-mail - reducing size

[Guest]

I have followed the instructions below to send a reduced sized photo in an
e-mail but I am not having any luck getting an e-mail message to pop up with
the pictures.
Any suggestions?

To send a photo in e-mail
Open My Pictures, and then open the folder containing the photo you want to
send in e-mail.
Click the photo you want to send.
Under File and Folder Tasks, click E-mail this file.
In the Send Pictures via E-mail dialog box, click Make all my pictures
smaller.
Windows makes a smaller photo file and attaches it to an e-mail message that
displays a default subject and text message.

In the To box, type the e-mail address of the person to receive the picture,
change the subject and message text if you want, and then click Send.

What program do you use to send emails, Outlook, Outlook Express,
another program? Until a program is associated with that task, the
attempt will fail. If you use a browser to access web mail, I don't
think you'll be able to set it up properly.

Why don't the Resize Pictures dialog appear while sending picture to e-mail?

Sorry - I use Miscrosoft Outlook as my default e-mail program

I followed the instructions (Send To Mail Recipient option does nothing
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/sendtomail.htm) but it didn't seem to work. Do you
have any other suggestions. I am using Outlook so I did not follow the step 2
in the instructions but did go through internet options to set outlook as my
default e-mail program.

Umm.. restart the computer, check the settings again? Maybe Outlook has
an option similar to those within OE and IE to "Check to make sure
Outlook is my default mail handler" (or a similar statement).

Thanks for your help. I still haven't had any luck getting the 'send to mail
recipient option' to work.

Outlook is my default mail provider (was checked off prior to my problems)
but still not woroking....

Right-click the Start button, click Properties, click Customize, and
make sure Outlook is selected to be shown in the Start Menu. This may
not help, but it seems I just read a post yesterday where this helped
with a similar problem.. perhaps the wrong email reader was opening in
that case.

Another thought: Change over to OE and see if you can get that working.
If so, changing over to Outlook from a working setup might make the
conversion work.

I can get it to work for OE but not Outlook itself. Who knows...thanks for
your help.
