Reduce size of pic's for email attachment

[anken]

Hi,
I haven't found this question in the "search" feature and I hope that it's not redundant.
I'm using Outlook 2000 and WinXP Pro, Yahoo Plus and Verizon Mobile Broadband.
I'm having a heck of time trying to reduce some pictures to send as email attachments.
At this point I have them located on my desktop. When I right click and choose "Send to" "To email recipient" ,they still seem to be very large when I click on them. There are 3 pic's I would like to send and the progress bar (while sending) goes about half way and then seems to stop.
I hope that I have been fairly clear with my problem.
If you have any advice, I will appreciate it very much. Ann

Hi Ann, sorry that your question wasnt answered. If you still need help, you should resize the pics before sending them. Paint will do this (you will find Paint in All Programs > Accessories) and there is also a nice freeware utility that you can download and install called Irfanview which will resize the pics for you and also perform a number of functions that Paint cannot. You can download Irfanview from here (http://www.irfanview.com/).
