pictures too large
1. Save the pic to your HDD.
2. You can open the pic in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer in an easily viewable size. 3. You can edit the saved pic using your favorite image editing software (e.g., IrfanView http://www.irfanview.com/; free) to reduce its size. Then save the resized pic to your HDD and delete the humongous one (if desired). [Folks who email such large pix are inconsiderate & annoying boobs IMHO. I don't need a 3.5 MB email to see 2 pictures of birds at your birdfeeder and I resent having to jump through the hoops of #3 above if I want to save them.] -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 scott wrote: Some of the emails I get have pictures that are much to large for me to veiw.They are sometimes added attachments and sometimes included in the email.

pictures too large
It is up to the sender to resize a picture before sending it. Since you have
already received them, save each to a user created Windows folder, (such as in My Documents), and then you can open them with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. OTOH, you can also save them and resize them yourself.

pictures too large
I have tried both blue five and irfanview and neither seems to work. Blue
tells me it is unable to open that type. it is .eml and irfanview won't even acknowledge the file. Any other suggestions -- S "Bruce Hagen" wrote: It is up to the sender to resize a picture before sending it.

You said the pictures were in e-mails. How did you save them? You need to
Right Click | Save Picture As and save it to a folder on your HDD. Then you work with Pix Resizer or IrfanView. If you just save the attachment, the programs will not recognize them. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "scott" wrote in message ...

Did you save the pic attachments to your hard-drive first (e.g., My Pictures
folder)? scott wrote: I have tried both blue five and irfanview and neither seems to work. Blue tells me it is unable to open that type. it is .eml and irfanview won't even acknowledge the file.

An EML file is the email message with the attachment. You want to save the
attachment (e.g., JPG or JPEG file) to your HDD. scott wrote: yes I put them in my pictures Did you save the pic attachments to your hard-drive first (e.g., My Pictures folder)? scott wrote: I have tried both blue five and irfanview and neither seems to work.
