Send Photos by e-mail in Windows XP

Photos were made for sharing, and Windows XP provides a number of options to help you show off those magical moments. For instance, you can send photos stored in My Pictures by e-mail. Now you can share photos minutes after you take them by sending them in e-mail. It only takes a minute; here's how:

Simply:

• Click Start, and then click My Pictures.
• Click the photo you want to send.
• Under File and Folder Tasks, click E-mail this file.
• Windows XP automatically compresses photo files prior to sending them, which speeds

opening them on the other end.

Why does it sometimes take a long time for a photo sent in e-mail to appear on your or a recipient's monitor? Digital images of all kinds consist of tiny dots, called pixels. Digital photos often consist of thousands of pixels, an amount that can take extra time to pass through the telephone and other communication lines over which Internet information travels. Some Internet service providers occasionally limit the size of individual files and attachments. If you have trouble sending or receiving a group of digital photos, try sending each image separately; or contact your Internet Service Provider for advice.

Note: you need to setup your email client (ie Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail Desktop and other) before sending Photos by Email. and you need an Email address which provides Feature to use them with an Email client. (such as Gmail)
