I've tried to send dozens of pics to my sister's MAC through her AOL mailbox, however all she ever sees is the giberish from the raw file and no picture.

I know PC's well, but not AOL or MACs

Any ideas out there?

Thanks!

I am also not familiar with MAC's, but I can tell you how AOL functions with images in the Win OS. When you send multiple images to an AOL account, AOL compresses them into a single file with a .mim extension. The MIME file needs to be unzipped with a program such as WinZip.

On a MAC, that may be a .sit extension. Maybe someone with MAC experience can confirm this.

Try downloading a copy of Stuffit Expander. It should unzip the compressed file. Also, try sending one photo at a time. I have to do this for any I send to an AOL account, whether it's pc or mac. Good luck.
