How do I send multiple pictures in email ?

I dont know, this might be stupid
Ok so I have a bunch of pictures on my computer that I need to email to someone. Is there anyway I can send them all at once instead of one picture at a time I have them all saves in one file but from what I can tell I have to send them one picture at a time. Any help?

If you have a bunch of pictures in a folder and want to email them, look at the sizes (KB) before you hit send.  When dealing with images for the web and email remember these 2 words:  RESIZE and OPTIMIZE.

That is, unless you are really wanting to send someone a bunch of pictures sized 2592 x 1944 pixels weighing in at 2.5 MB each.  Several images that big can bring things to a halt.

A couple of years ago, a girl in the front office brought in her digital camera and uploaded about 20 images into her PC and mass emailed them to almost everyone in the office.  Not only did she lock up all our local computers (Lotus Notes) but she also locked up a main server in the home office in Memphis.  Imagine - she locked up a main email server of a Fortune 100 company on a Monday morning with her full-size wedding pictures!  Laughing out loud

I always resize and compress (in that order) images before I email them.  Here's a handy and free utility to do both at once: http://www.rw-designer.com/picture-resize  It's simple drag and drop operation.  Read the instructions on the web page.  You can check the finished size (KB) of your pictures by right-clicking and choosing properties.

Always work with copies on images - save your originals.  Once you get your pictures resized and optimized, you can put them into a seperate folder.  Right-click on that folder and choose a "Compress and Email " option.  WinZip or WinRar are two popular compressing/zipping utilities and they will have similar choices in their right-click menus.
