In My Pictures I can select a picture to email and select "Email this file"
from the side window.
The window opens offering to reduce the file size or not.
After this option is chosen-to reduce-the new Email opens with the picture attachment
-no size given- in the subject line but none of the task bar buttons will work and the contact address book will not open.
What do I need to do to make this option work?
I am using Outlook Express 6 for my email.
Thanks

are you selecting, send to/mail recipient?

[Brighousejim]

I am sorry bearone2, but don't understand your question.
Once the e-mail opens, nonre of the task bar buttons work.

what Operating system are you using?

How about a screenshot of the options you get these are mine with XP... I don't get "email this file"

[bearone2]

that was my point. i don't see email this file but what i mentioned in the above post when i email a pic from within my pictures or a doc.

i do see the size in the attachment block.

i don't see the address book but click on "to" and your in the address book comes up. you'll see to, cc and bcc. select the names and click one of them.

Brighousejim means the 'email this file' option in Common Tasks.

Brighousejim, how is OE in normal operation when you manually attach images?

[Brighousejim]

OE will work as normal when I attach images but I am unable to reduce the image size.

[bearone2]

you can only reduce if you rt click/send to from the folder.

it does't resize if you attach to the email.

Brighousejim, this is what I get after resizing:

Does yours look like this?
It is Outlook Express that is opening, right? Check under Help.
You say the 'Send', 'Paste' , and 'Check' buttons are grayed out?
How about 'File', 'Send Message'. Does this work?
Did you mean that the filename and file size is missing from the 'Attach' box?

silly me I have never had the common tasks pane turned on in folder options

Hi Moper
The email that is opened is NOT like yours.
No size is shown in the subject line in fact no attach box is shown
Cut, Copy, Paste and Undo are all greyed out.
Other buttons do not work.
Sorry I cant send a screen shot-I do not know how.

Is Outlook Express your default mail program?
In Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options, Programs tab. What is listed under Email?

For a screenshot, hold down the Alt key and press the PrtSc key once. (nothing will appear to happen) Open Paint. Click Edit, Paste. Click 'Save As'. Give it a name and location(desktop is good). File type: Choose gif or jpg. In your post, at the bottom, click 'Manage Attachments'. Click 'Browse', and find the photo you just saved. Then click 'Upload'. That's it. Close the attachment box.
