Large e mail files?

My son in law keeps sending e mail picture straight off his digial camera .
I am not familiar with digital cameras ,but the files are always over a meg
in size , far too large for my screen.

Is there a way to resize these type of images automatically in outlook
express ?? mjh

if you want something quick and dirty to do that use irfan view, it is free.
I use it for rezsizing and compressing pictures for the web

Rather than resizing them yourself, shouldn't your son-in-law be
resizing them beofre sending them?

I agree with craig,

if he insists on keepin the res high....then tell him scale the picture
down!!!!

There really should be a miss manners guide to email column.

Same difference. dpi/ppi is meaningless onscreen. It's going to display
at your screen res no mattre what.

Doesn't Internet Explorer (6+) have a feature that defaults to "on"
when you install it that will have an icon appear if you hover over
the lower right corner of the image? And if you click on it, it will
resize to full screen? ( I'm pretty sure because I turned it off, it
got annoying at times)

trashes any message from him over some particular size.

Then do it. It's your computer, and your time.

Actually it's ppi (dpi refers to dots per inch and is for printing whereas
ppi refers to pixels per inch and is for screen) And yes, you essentially
are right. If you only want to use the photo's he sends for screen then tell
him that and ask him to reduce the file size appropriately. If, however, you
would like to print some of the photo's he sends, tell him to get a zip
utility such as WinZip or somesuch and then he can place several files in a
smaller, compressed file to send you to open. It would make life easier for
you and him both that way. Especially if one or both of you is on a dial up.
I know that at times being on dial up, I have to wait several minutes for a
large picture file to download if the person sending it to me has not either
compressed it or downsized it to 72 ppi. It gets rather irritating at times
when I only wanted to do a quick check of the email and I end up waiting
several minutes for a huge picture to come in.
