Outlook Express can send folders with .zip extension, also known as
Compressed Folder, the folder icon looks like a folder with a zipper on it.

Say you want to send a folder from My Documents.

Open the My Documents folder, right click on a blank space, on popup dialog
window choose New, on it's menu choose Compressed Folder.

Copy the folder you want to send into compressed folder.

Right click compressed folder, choose Send To, on it's menu choose Mail
Recipient.

| Hi,
| It seems I can't attach a folder anymore. What changed? I use Windows
XP.
| I right click on a folder say in...my documents, pick send to mail
recipient,
| it attaches as a .lnk and the recipient can't open it. I sent it to
myself
| at my gmail addy and was able to open it. I don't recall having this
issue
| in the past. It seems if I don't want this .lnk, then my only alternative
it
| to open the folder, then the sub folders and click on each and every
document
| before I can attach them to my message. That doesn't seem very efficient.
| Did any of this make sense?
