Default random pc question of the day

how do i email a folder?
i want to send a load of pics to some1 and they are all in seperate named folders and all in an order, how do i post the whole folder instead of each pic?
im using micrsoft outlook on windows xp and cant figure it out?
i can only work out how to attach 1 pic at a time and ive got about 200 to send, in the correct order.
does any1 know? or will i have to resort to burning them to disc and sending it out in the post? lol

cheers

How big are the pics? You will probably find it easier to burn a CD.

If they can be made a small enough filesize, then just go to attach and select all of the files you want to send (drag a box over them all, or click once on the first then hold shift and press the down arrow until you've got them all. It's going to take fooking ages to actually send the mail though...

Personally id put them all in a zip file. Just highlight all the folders, right click, send to, compressed (zipped) folder. Then check the size as most people have 5-10mb limit set

this is the way i'd do it, unless the person on the other end of the email isnt too clued up, then it'd probably be a waste of time, as theyd get the zip file and not know what it was

Zip won't help the size of pictures...

yea i know zipping wont help with size of the pictures but it means you can put them all in one attachement rather than having to sit there adding each picture in turn
