Hi

I've had a few problems with my Outlook Express recently, one of which
is the inability to send smaller photos.

Until recently, I might be browsing in 'My Pictures', select a few pix
to email and then right-click to 'Send to email recipient', whereupon a
window will pop up asking me if I want to make my pictures smaller when
emailing. When I select yes, it does just that and automatically
inserts the reduced photos into an OE window for sending.

That doesn't work any more.

Any ideas how I can get it going again?

To restore the Resize Picture option during sending

Go to Start, Run and enter

You are welcome.

The feature is not part of Outlook Express but part of Windows. The
images get reduced before they are ever passed to OE. Apparently
something modified the registry to disable the feature in Windows. The
command I gave restores that setting.

Many thanks. Sorry for the delay in replying!

Worked a treat, first time!

Hello Michael. This problem describes exactly what I have going on. However,
I tried your suggestion, and it did not work. I received a message box that
reads "The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable.
Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action." I am not sure
what this means, because Outlook is working fine otherwise, and I am able to
send/receive emails just fine. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Michael: please disregard my original message. I was able to remedy the
issue via another post. Thanks anyway.
