    Hey so I have a quick question. A friend of mine is trying to open an e-mail with attachments, sent from Apple Mail. The pictures were attached from iPhoto by selecting the images and clicking "EMail" within the iPhoto window. Unfortunately, the recipient gets "File not found" when trying to save them, but he can see the actual images in the e-mail. There's no "save" box anywhere. This is Outlook Express 2004.

    Any ideas on how to make these images work? If I just use Apple Mail and attach from within the new message, the attachment pictures work fine on the Outlook Express end, but NOT if I attach them when using iPhoto to do so.

    All help appreciated.

    Right click and save? Or just dragging to the desktop maybe?

    I think the problem is that the pictures are really tiny in the e-mail, and can't be saved. I suppose you could capture that tiny image in the e-mail, but not the *actual* file. I'm not sure...

    I just sent my wife the same kind of email last night (using the email function within iPhoto to attach pictures) and she opened them in Outlook 2007 and she's also able to right-click on each individual picture and save it anywhere she wants. This could be an Outlook Express issue (?).

    I figured as much. I will let him know, and get him to try Outlook.

    Thanks for trying that! +rep for you. :)
