Hi bruce thanks for your info unfortunatly i have seriously buggered up my
system by changing a file type and cannot now use system restore, can't open
safe mode, or command prompt or even as last resort re-install windows.

if you or anyone has any advise on how get around this.
this problem occured when i changed "mail to protocol" it didnt work so i
deleted it
or so i thought as i deleted something else tried to resolve but just made
matters worse.

if some can advise on how to access or enable system restore without having
to go through help and support.
or
assist in enabling help and support by changing help and support file type.
many thanks
Alby

If you have MS Outlook installed, also see:

If you insert a graphic into a new message you have to resize it first. If
you do not have a photo imaging program, you can download InfranView (free)

hi folks operating OE as default mail but when using send to (to take
advantage of photo insertion sizes) outlook opens.

have followed info on these pages and have made sure all is ok even
changed
registry (which already said right thing) but changed anyway.

have also changed details in folder options and file types.

when i now use send to, fresh mailbox opens which belongs to OE and all
seems ok, but if use send to again in same session outlook opens??????

is there a way to reduce photo size for email via OE when using file
insert?

plus what is advantage or disadvantage of using outlook only?

regards, Alby
