If the recipient saves the images from the e-mail to their PC they can then open up in a picture viewer that will show the whole thing and enable zooming in / out on areas too. As for the time taken to send, that's purely down to the quantity of data being transferred. It is possible to re-size the picture(s) and thus reduce the file size but as mentioned before this does reduce the quality too so there's a limit to how far you go. If it's only for a quick 'snapshot' that won't be printed out at the other end then a file size of around 100Kb will still give a reasonable image and cut down on the send / receive times too. The various image processing programs will tell you what the file size will be as you change the settings - just remember to save the re-sized image as a different file name or you'll lose the quality in the original and it's not possible to reverse this loss ! -- Best regards, Barry mailto:barry@yobunny.co.uk MicroSoft Free Zone running Ubuntu 9.04 'Jaunty'
