How do you send attachments to AOL users

[mcveigh]

I know AOL has a problem with attachments, how can I send pics to my motherinlaw then?

 

[minendo]

Post them on the web and send her a URL.

i've always sent them normally. never had a problem.

just do what minendo said though... post em to a site.

 

With a worm, they deserve it.

You could also take all pictures and place them in a zip file. Then just send the Zip file. However, I do not know what the mailbox storage limit is for AOL.

What is the reason for the attachment problem and AOL service (besides it sucks)?

From my experience with AOL, the filesize limit is 15 mb, and I've never had a problem sending attachments to aol members.

AOL breaks apart any file larger than 6kb.... and turns it into mush.

Must have been a problem with your installation or you just need to learn how to use a computer.


The file size limits are 2 megs for AOL to non-AOL or vice versa and 16 megs from AOL to AOL.

You don't.

You just say you sent it, and then let them argue with AOL about how they can't get attachments, and that they'll cancel their service if they can't get their attachments, and then laugh when AOL loses another from the Matrix..

maybe there is a problem finding the attachment in the email?

is it hard to find?
