Help sending pictures

Hi Terry:

 

Mine are your size and smaller, but for whatever reason Outlook is making
the whole thing larger than it should be, and it's too big.

I think there is a limit of 250K per post. Sometimes when I've sent one too
large, it takes a couple days to get some sort of notice from the list
administrator that the thing got rejected.

 

If in doubt, compose the email with the picture and send it to yourself -
see if it goes through - and click on "properties" of the email and see how
big it is. The pictures I usually post to the pianotech list are usually
about 640 x 480 whatevers or maybe a little smaller. I can include two of
that size picture pretty easy - maybe even three.

To my more experienced brethren (and sistren?) on the forum:

 

I've been trying to send pictures of my hammer tapering jig to the forum for
the past 2 days, but without success.  I have had no problem composing my
text and placing my 3 pictures into the message.   I took the pictures in
VGA, the lowest setting on my Sony digital camera.  Picassa 3, the image
editing freeware program, tells me each of these images is 133KB.  The first
time I tried to send the message it bounced back from my server.  I surmised
that perhaps it was too large, so I broke it up into two messages, one with
two pictures and the other with one.  So the larger should have been 266 KB
plus whatever the small amount of text that accompanied it should add (I
would guess it shouldn't be over 300 KB).  The second message would be 133
KB plus  text - 150 to 175 KB max.  However, when I looked at these messages
from my Sent Items folder in MS Outlook 2007, it tells me that the larger
message  is 1 MB, and the smaller 478 KB.  I sent these messages twice and
they simply disappeared into the ether, no rejection notice from the Forum
server, no show on the Forum either.  Just nothing.  

 

Are my two messages still too large for the PTG forum server?  

 

I would be grateful for any and all suggestions from those who have some
experience posting pictures to the forum as to how to go about this.  Should
I try to send them as attachments?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
