Sending images by email with ZoomBrowser EX 6.x

This section contains precautions and procedures on how to send images by email with ZoomBrowser EX 6.x. Video clips / files cannot be sent by email using ZoomBrowser.

IMPORTANT

  • Your email program needs to be MAPI-compliant in order to send images as attachments to email messages using ZoomBrowser EX.

  • MAPI is a standard Windows messaging interface that enables different email programs and other email-aware applications to exchange messages and attachments.

  • With MAPI-compliant email programs, you can send email directly from the menus of other applications.

  • One of the major MAPI-compliant email programs is Microsoft Outlook Express.

  • Your email program should be set up as a MAPI client in order to send images by email. For set up instructions, please refer to the documentation provided with the email programs.
  • [ZoomBrowser EX] from the supplied Solution Disk must be installed on your computer for this operation.
  • Operations for Windows Vista are explained here. Images displayed or operation might differ slightly in Windows XP.
