Title: Trouble emailing Mill articles.
Post by: Sean Clark on November 02, 2022, 10:41:23 PM
I've written a couple of articles for the Mill today. Both failed to send via email due to the file size (+33MB).

I think I've managed to send a link to Martin from Google Docs via One Drive, but there is no confirmation of this when you do it and now my Gmail account is playing up. Zut alors!

Any one with more technical know how than me with any recommendations for this sorry state of affairs?

That is alarming Sean.
Can the article be cut in half??
Look forward to seeing those articles.


MILL is to be done soon.

Maybe make your pictures smaller before sending, Sean?

If you are using the Photos app on a Windows PC, there is an option to "Resize" pictures and save them as a smaller file.

Sorted. I've sent the Game Up North article in 2 parts. Great thinking!

That's an interesting point Sean. I sent an article whch was acknowledged by Martin, and followed this up with another containing the photos for the article. As far as I am aware it went without any trouble.

I sent an email 2 or 3 weeks ago with an article for the next "Mill" issue. I had to resize the pictures as I could not send it.

It works at the second try...
