Can't email photos - Little box with "X" in it
Hi,
I'm really puzzled as to why I can't email photos to certain people. The report getting a little box with an "X" in it instead of a photo. Is there a setting THEY need to change or do I send the photos in another form. Like JPG instead of BMP.
Thanks,

Please look into the settings to see if there are any picture related options turned off.

Could be that it's getting bounced... at least the attachment. Most pay for email servers will bounce emails anywhere from 3mb up. BMP is going to roughly 10x the size of .jpg depending on how you have set the compression level. Don't know what they allow for Yahoo, send as .jpg.

Also clean out your 'Temp Internet Files' folder. This folder being too full causes the problems you are getting.

How large is the image you are sending? Are you sending it as an attachment?
