Thanks William- I just hadn't shrunk the image
far enuff I guess. Took your advice and it looks
like 300X450 works well ..... it results in a
150KB image with the correct aspect ratio and it
looks fine on the monitor. Incidentally, I didn't
know which NG to try....but I appreciate your
response and "fix". Incidentally, when I type in
Outlook Express when searching for a NG, I get a
msg that says something like "No Newsgroups with
those words were found" Hmmmmm. Thanks again.
