Outlook Express 6.0 Sending Photos Problem

[Kristin]

Hello everyone. I have tried to figure this problem out
on my own but am absolutely stumped. I would be very
grateful for any input. I just purchased a Canon
Powershot A75 Point and Shoot camera and am dying to
forward some great photos to the person who sent it to
me. I have tried numerous times to send photos through
Windows XP/Outlook Express - select image, right click,
choose send to mail recipient and then chose make photos
smaller. However, when the e-mail screen comes up, I get
this yellow vertical bar on top with an "i" that then
states that "this message has not been sent." If I then
proceed to send it, no one receives it and I get nothing
indicating it was sent in my Sent Items folder.
I have installed Irfanview in an attempt to figure this
all out but again am not sending the images, although I
believe I configured the e-mail setting properly.
I am getting very frustrated and would really appreciate
any help.
Thank you very much.

Kristen, try it this way:

Figure out where the picture files are on your system. Probably will
have .jpg extensions. Create a new message and then attach the
picture file to the message and send.

Hi - make sure OE is set as your default mail program in control panel,
internet options, programs.

Then note:
This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.

A good website for information on OE is:
