How do I attach pictures to Outlook Express e-mails?

[Guest]

From My Pictures I choose a picture to attach to an e-mail. Under "Files and
Folder Tasks" I choose "E mail this file". In the "pop-up" I choose "Make
pictures smaller"..."OK". This puts me in an Outlook e-mail (NOT Outlook
Express, which is my regular e-mail). I put an address in the "To" but there
is no "SEND" button nor a "SEND" in the "FILE" dropdown menu.
How do I get this picture attachment to my regular Outlook Express e-mail??

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.

A good website for information on OE is:

Any Office program cannot use Outlook Express, since OE is not part of
Office. If you want to use OE use the Insert menu in the new message, not in
an Office app. You'll have to know the location of the picture.

Note that you can use both OE and Outlook. Just set up your accts in Outlook
and then you'll be able to use Office to send attachments. Make sure you
select "leave mail on server" in OL so your default mail client OE can
download mail.
