[Rhodes22-list] ss picture e-mailing hang up continued

[stan]

Thanks but I am still looking for the magic button and think I found it - only it does not work

If I go to "my pictures" (instead of the "photo studio" location) a drop down menu come on the screen on the left.   One of the items that can be clicked is: "e-mail this file"

that sounds good so when I click on "e-mail this file" a window opens up that says "Windows can re-size this file so it makes it easier and faster for the recipient to receive"   That sounds even better so I click  "yes" on its   "do I want to do this" button. 

and an e-mail form page show up  and it has the proper file attached and life looks good.

I seem to have found the elusive simple way to send the picture so it will automatically be resized for the receiver to get it sized properly - but when I hit the "send" button, the e-mail won't go anywhere.

But before I had hit the send button there was a  "NOTE"  on the e-mail form page that says:  "To protect computer viruses, e-mail programs may prevent sending and receiving certain types of file attachments.  Check your e-mail security services"

Do you think this is the problem?  And if so how and where do I go to see if my e-mail program may be blocking the e-mail from being sent with its attachment?   

When I send the attachment direct from Photo Studio without going through the drop down menu that has the "e-mail this file" button, the e-mail does go through but with the oversized picture.  Why would the e-mail go through if there was an attachment blocker when I take the attachment from Photo Studio and not go through when I take the same numbered attachment from "My Pictures" via the "E-mail this file" button ?.  

Anything to do with one is a Microsoft path and the other some other path like Yahoo? 

I am way out of my league here but feel instinctively there is some simple way to send self size adjusting attachments since when you go the drop down menu "e-mail this file" route, it tells you it is going to automatically resize the attachment for you.

MM or equivalent, where are you?
