Email picture ?

[Len Amaral]

I have a Sony Mavica digital camera that uses a floppy disk and works very well. I have AOL and attatch pictures from the A drive to Email. Some go throgh and some don't. Any suggestions?

Len, a little more clarification.

Are you saying you do not always get the picture to attach to the e-mail?? Or the attached e-mail picture is not sent? Or the addressee does not get the picture???

Somone else on AOL may be able to respond to this but I thought AOL had a max size for attachements??? If that's the case that might be the reason.

Hello Jack:
I can attach the picture and it appears to transmit. However, some peaople say they got the pictures & some don't. I'll try to send you one. Let me know if it goes through?

Len, always remove the path from a file before attaching it to an e-mail...I discovered a problem sending midi files several years ago,...where some systems look for the file exactly where the path statement ahead of the file stated it came from.
Example:
"Attach File"...C:\mydocuments\photos\
guitarphoto.jpg
Change it to "guitarphoto.jpg" before attaching.
Hope this helps!

AOL is interesting when it comes to image attachments. I am not on AOL, and sometimes when someone on AOL sends me a picture, it comes through as a .DAT file. This could be the case. I think, but I wouldn't know unless I had one, all you have to to to render the image is to replace the .DAT with the real extension, for example, .JPG.
