I don't use a cell phone and my camera broke some time ago. I was given another one that seems to work okay, but I am having trouble sending photos to people as email attachments. The photos look okay at my end, and I have even tried editing and resaving them with Paint to screen out anything that might affect them, but I have had complaints from different recipients that the photos are not coming through. I don't know why and I don't know what to look for. One photo I uploaded to Geekzone worked fine. The problem seems to be with email attachments. This always worked well in the past with my other photos so I don't know what could be causing it. The only thing that is different is the camera.

 

Here is what one person sent back to me. I am just showing the first part. It goes on for quite a long way.

etc....

 

 

 

The camera is a Nikkon Coolpix S7000. The email is Windows Livemail. I am sending the photos as file attachments, as I always have.

Are you using a mail app or webmail?  If you're using a mail app, try using webmail and see if it works.  If it does then there's an issue with your mail app.

That is uuencoding. It is a very old method of attaching files and I wouldn't be surprised if some modern clients don't support it anymore.

 

If you can configure your client to use MIME (preferably with base64 encoding), use that instead.

Thanks guys. Changing the encoding appears to have done the trick. Where would we be without Geekzone?
