How do I send "Photo of the Day" Attachments via E-Mail?

Anytime you want to e-mail a photo(s) or document(s) as an attachment,
place a copy of each of them on your desktop or in a place where you know where
they are located and remember what they are named. After you create your e-mail, select
"File", or "Insert", or "Attach", or whatever command is used in your e-mail system,
then browse to wherever your photos or documents were saved to. Then
select the one file, if there is only one, or select several at the same time
by continually holding down the CTRL key while selecting each file, one by one. Then
release the CTRL key, and hit "Open", "Save", "OK", "Attach", or whatever final command it
takes to attach the file(s) to your e-mail. Now you can see that your files are attached
and the e-mail is ready to be sent when you have finished with your message. One way to positively know if an attachment is being
e-mailed properly is to send a copy of the e-mail with the attachment back to
yourself. Once you are satisfied that it went through the e-mail system
properly, you can resend it to others. Also, photos and documents are much
easier to e-mail as an attachment, as opposed to embedding them
as a photo in the actual e-mail. When receiving an embedded photo, you have to right click on the photo and select
“Save As”, and then give it a name and save it to your desktop.
Embedding usually limits the photo to be a very small photo when received and the
photo is very difficult to enhance, enlarge, or highlight.
