AOL & Picture/Attachments..

The AOL picture gallery is available from the file menu in AOL via "Open Picture Gallery" or "Open Picture Finder".  In the gallery window you see a display of file names.  Ignore it  Click the button on the lower right that says "Open Gallery".

AOL then displays any images you have in your download folder.  If you click any picture it will open in a little editor where you can crop, brighten or rotate it.  But best, there is an "Insert in E-mail" button along the bottom that opens and e-mail with the picture already in it.  All you have to do is address it and type a subject and optional note.

The only catch to this really neat feature is that only other AOL users will see the picture in the E-mail.  Others will get it as an attachment or most likely with the message "Unable to display image".  Maybe version 7 0r 8 will correct this.  For non-AOL users you must attach the picture from a new "Write" e-mail.  Keword "Attachment" explains how.
