Still so far so good!

a question : How do I send an email with an attachment of a document in a file? Would appreciate the "click" procedure.

Thanks............Alan

Answer: There is usually a paperclip button on the email screen that lets you add an attachment. click it find the file you want to attach (usually in documents). Select it and the button on the right bottom of the side of the window usually says attach. it is now attached.

Question: Hi, I am having a time trying to send email from an article I would love to share, when ever I try outlook express comes up and when I place my info to send or forward it reports an error, my main emails or corespondent is by yahoo (outlook keeps saying yahoo will not allow it to go)and that is why I am unable.Thanks

Answer: Sounds like you are trying to send it to too many people at once or with too many graphics. Most mail servers limit sending to less than 25 recipients and the file size can't be bigger than 3MB. If you have pictures in the article or too many recipients that would block you for sure. Also your outlook express might not be configured for sending thru yahoo correctly. I believe that you have to use there webmail to send messages unless you have a paid email account with them. These are the 3 things that could be your problems cause.

Email Garbage

On Sun Nov 9 10:45pm, Phil asked:
Question: some of my emails are unreadable garbage letters how do i solve this problem? thanks

Answer: Some emails come thru looking like garbage because they come from China, Russia or some other country that uses a different alphabet. When that happens you can download the language pack for that country and try reading the email then. A lot of SPAM is coming out of these countries so it looks like garbage in the email program and most of the time, it is.

Just a side note, you shouldn't click on these emails unless you know the sender because it could be virus filled email as well. At least make sure you have your virus protection up to date before you open them.

Hope this helps,
