    open up the file where they are saved on your PC. Right click and select delete for those you want to get rid of. You can use the option of 'thumbnails' to display what you are messing around with first. Saves having to open them up in an application.

    Double click the one you are interested in editing and it should open up in an application such as Photoshop for editing it depends on what you have installed!!!

    Once you have editted then save it as a new file so you don't mix them up...in other words if it was called 'dog.jpg' call it 'dog2.jpg' or in whatever format you want. 'jpg' is the most common one to use.

    For general emailling it is best to choose a size of 5 x 6 inches with a 72dpi resolution. You can choose up to 300dpi if you want really GOOD printing but for passing around the Web...it is better to keep them small sized.

    Once you have saved your attachments or pictures down to your PC that you want from your email programme simply delete the email they came from.

    Press the create button to send them on to someone....press attach files.....then go to the folder you have them saved in and click each one and upload to the email you wish to send on to people. Once they are attached and uploaded to the mailing programme then you put in your message (email address to the the person of course!) and press send!

    Your images get 'sucked' up to the emailer, it then attaches them to the mail you send....and hey presto you forward the image/text you want!

    p.s. if you are needing to edit the attachments which are documents do the same as above it will open in either word or notebook or some other word processing package. Do as above also...edit....save with new name....then attach to email as above!
