Hi Teach!! Brilliant information and most helpful - this is being saved to permanent files! However..............can you pl-e-a-s-e ell me how to transfer an item from my Outlook Express email inbox to any of the TV forums?? Or to pm other members. There have been so many great, clever, funny, serious posts for which I would really like to contribute some pics/stories etc that friends have sent to me and which I feel would be enjoyed by fellow venters! Here's hoping............

Hi Quietmike. All Images and attachments must be first saved,from OutLook Express,or any Email Provider, to your Hard Drive,then use Tutorial, to upload to Forums.
To send Images to another Member,I Prefer to use Email. Right Click on Image,on your Hard Drive > Box appears >Select Send to > Select Email Recip; > Box appears > I send in original Size,unless I know the Recip; is on Dial Up > Email Address Box appears> This Image is now ready to be sent as an attachment > Add Text and send.
Thats the way I do it, Quietmike. Hope this helps.
