send attachments from memory stick

[byegeorge]

Hi,  To send email attachments of photos, I copy them to my memory stick, and because I haven't got broadband at home I send them with my email at the local library, but somehow the attachments are not being delivered.  I type my email, then click on "Attachment" go to my memory stick,via "my computer" right click on the photo, then on  "send to email recipient" This brings up another email which says it is waiting to be sent, but I have to fill in the receivers address again, then I send it.   Can some kind person tell me what I am doing wrong, or what I should do?   I have Windows X.P and use Hotmail.

then click on "Attachment" go to my memory stick,via "my computer" right click on the photo, then on  "send to email recipient" This brings up another email

You don't need to right click on the photo, just left click it will attach it, no "other" email should then open.

Hi byegeorge

A guess would be that the library has disabled the use of memory sticks on their machines, to prevent files they do not wish to be, uploaded to their system.

May be best to ask them.

I use hotmail and memory sticks at the library often, as a 'computer buddy' local library I show people how to use the internet and email,  I have to agree with MaryA - do a left click then click on 'open' at the bottom right of the box and the file will attach

Hi

I bow to your knowledge, as I do not use the library system. Just know as a system administrator for a company, memory stick lockout is common.

Yep, I am the enemy

Hi Geoff,
I am also a Clover researcher, not sure if I have had any contact with you in the past.

Hi Peter,

Do not recall you, but am bad with names. My lot were from the Ramsey, Oakley, Colchester area. PM me if you feel there is a link.

Always happy to swap info.

Hi Geoff

I know what you mean but I think most libraries allow the use of memory sticks, in fact ours encourages it by having them for sale!

Hello byegeorge,

MaryA's solution is the correct one for the way you are working. However you could start by right-clicking on the photo and then "send to email recipient". As you say, that brings a new mail up. You could then write your mail in that, add the recipient's address and send it.

So: right-click to create a new mail with the photo attached. Then write the message.
or: left-click to add a photo to a mail you have already written.

All the best, falcybe
