Working with Digital Photos for Emailing
     
Daniel Vu (computer services) has lifted the file restriction that has been on the email server in Oklahoma City.  

We CAN now send and receive emails with photos attached to them without any special preparation.  

The photos are in a file format commonly called "JPEG".  The name "JPEG" comes from the file extension* on the file name that is created by the Mavica cameras that we are using.  

WE NO LONGER HAVE TO RENAME THE FILE EXTENSION (jpg) OF PICTURES.

* - Extensions are file types that are added to the end of DOS, Windows and OS/2 file names. Before Windows 95, an extension could only have up to three letters or digits. However, even after Windows 95, new file formats are generally kept to three characters as a matter of convention. All programs and almost all data files use extensions, which are separated from the file name with a dot. For example, LETTER.DOC is a Word document. NOTEPAD.EXE is a text editor program that comes with Windows.
