Is it a tif, jpg? Open Outlook and then Insert the file you want to

send. You are using Outlook, right? What version? Have you checked the

Security options?

Hi,

 

Scanned text is a picture (in whatever format).

Possibly you did OCR and then you get real text.

 

In both cases: If you cannot email that (the plain text or the image)

your emailprogram is broken.

Solution: get a working emailclient.

 

Maybe Thunderbird?

Re: Unable to e-mail 'Scanned Text'

 

Thanks for the help.

 

I scanned as 'TIF,' but when I tried to e-mail, it's still 'TIF,' not become

'JPF.' That's causing this problem?

 

File is only one small piece of article, ... Size: 7.31 MB.

 

Warning message is;

Windows found that this file is potentially harmful.

To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file.

 

Thanks for any clue on this, above.

What kind of file did you save it as? What is its extension?

That file (7.31 MB!) is way to big. You will never be able to send such a

large file through the internet. A maximum file size should be 150KB.

However, as others have said, you should first convert it to a text file

with OCR software. A text file is much easier to send via email.

Re-scan it as a .txt file. If you can, save it to PDF format.

Nonsense!

GMail supports attachments up to 20 MB

http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=8770

Yahoo supports attachments up to 10 MB

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070425200449AAMKUBK

and Hotmail support attachments up to 10 MB but I cant find a link.

Whether it's too big or not depends on his ISP (or whoever provides

his E-mail service). The ISP is what puts a maximum size on the size

of a message sent. It's true that 7.31MB will exceed the maximum

imposed by many ISPs, but not necessarily all. I certainly wouldn't

say "You will *never* be able to send..."

 

And by the way, 150KB is *way* lower than the maximum imposed by most

ISPs. Personally I have often sent files larger than that.

 

Moreover, if his problem is that the file size exceeds the maximum

imposed by the ISP, the message he would get would certainly *not* be

"Windows found that this file is potentially harmful."

Re: Unable to e-mail 'Scanned Text'

 

Thanks all for the responses.

 

Finally, it's done.

 

First, saved as TIF, and then JPEG. Successfully, I did e-mail.

 

Thanks all,

Well, just try downloading a thing that big in mail. It is not that the

size is impossible, it is that most people are not willing to wait that long

for something that big.

This is a security setting in Outlook Express set by Default. The

security setting blocks most attachments.

 

Under the Tools -> Options setting, in the Security tab, remove the

check in "Do not allow attachments to be save or opened...."

 

However, after you changed this, you must be running up to date and

current antivirus software. Also, only open attachments that you

expect from known people.

How about asking this in a group for whatever mail app you are using?
