Hi,
I'm running XP on my computer. I want to email 50 photos to another person.
My only way of transferring these files to this person is by email as I
don't have a memory card reader or a blank CD-RW disc. I don't want to share
these photos on a public website either. Eventhough the 50 files were zipped
up using winzip, the resulting zip file took too long to email - and
consequently my outlook program stoped responding. The total size of my
photos are approx 80MB. The files were zipped up using normal compression.
I even tried maximum compression but I had no success. Strangely enough,
when my photos are converted to the zip file, this file is still showing 80MB
when I highlight it. By the way, I'm only using the evaluation version of
Winzip - would this make a difference?
Is there a limit to how much a persons smtp mail server will allow or is
this controlled by my ISP. Is there any compression software out there that
will reduced the size of my photos from 80MB to around 6MB thereby enabling
me to email these photos? I could email these photos in portions but I don't
want this.
Please note, I'm using a 2Mbps DSL broadand connection.
All suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Martin
