Hi Brian, I was hoping someone else would jump in, as I have no real experience with AOL - One of the good things about being in Denmark ;-) My guess is that zipping the pictures before mailing them with AOL will keep them in whatever format the PC is using (BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG or whatever), even though it is transferred through their obscure mail system that apparently makes pictures into .art-files. Good luck! Cheers, Kim
