Mailing pictures within a folder

I

incognito

Can somebody help me with a safe procedure to send a file folder that
contains JPEG pics so that they can be downloaded and viewed in a Windows PC
environment? I am using Stuffit to compress the folder but PC users tell me
they can¹t open the contents. What program on a PC would do the trick? Or
what do I need to do with Stuffit so it makes a ZIP folder?
Thanks for the help!

Click to expand...

What I'd do is choose File > Create Archive in the Finder. This makes a
zip archive. Be certain, however, that this is really the problem - this
is an Entourage list, after all, and Entourage has nothing whatever to
do with the question as posed, but Entourage does also encode the
attachment, and Windows users might have trouble with an hqx-encoded
file even if it is a zip archive. m.

Dear Matt,
Thanks for the tip with zip encoding using the finder.
I had actually found out how to zip the folder in Stuffit (it created the
hqx-file) but the Windows users could not open the hqx-encoded file as you
suggested. Is this too advanced for Windows or what goes on?

Most of life is too advanced for Windows. Oh, did I say that out loud?
:) Anyhow, no problem; before sending, open the attachments triange
(underneath the subject) and change the encoding from Macintosh to
Windows. m.

Hi Matt,
Thanks to our creator that we have folks like you. At least communications
between the two worlds keep flowing - and I learn something in the process.
And of course,
Thanks to you!
Rudolf
