my 'send' box is not working at all at the moment. I keep getting 'Error 0x8ccc003. One of my outbox emails has 20 photo attachments - is that what is causing the problem? Many thanks for any ideas.

It can take ages to upload it to send the email, and it will take ages to download it to the person or people who get it (and may even break their download limit).
Why not put the pictures on a "free" image hosting site such as Photobucket, Flickr, or even Facebook (and there are others)

VHG and AlBags ....Splendid! Problem solved.
Totted up the photographs and found a grand total of 26Mb :-) , so did some deleting and reducing, and voila! all working correctly again. Have now been sending them in twos and threes with no problem, but they are rather small, i.e. tiny. Will the recipient be able to enlarge them, or am I missing another trick here?

How are you reducing? With the Windows 'add a picture' bar that appears when you attach a picture?
You should manually attach a few at a time to keep the total attachment size to below 10Mb. Then it will work better.
If you are resizing to very small pics, they will NOT be recoverable to full size at all.

It turns out the photos are capable of being enlarged 'at the other end' so all is well, and thanks for all the good advice. By the way, the snaps are from a load of very old 35mm negs. which I passed through an excellent 'Stand Alone' digital image copier bought from Maplin Electronics for about £80. It's very easy to use and well made.
