I am trying to send a attachment to my daughter in Australia consisting of her recent wedding photo's in UK. A CD was sent to us by the photographer and I am trying to send it to her. I created a folder and saved the disc contents to it then attach it to the E-Mail but each time I send it a message appears on the maill saying OE has removed the contents of the attachment for security reasons. Can anyone suggest what I must do to send the photo's as my daughter is very keen to see them. As I am a wrinklie find things difficult on a computer. Thanks for any help.

It may be because the file is so big to send. Have you tried creating an account online with somewhere like Kodak or Photobucket. That way you copy them onto there and your daughter can look at them too once you email her the link. Also any other family members you want to look at them can see them too.
I strongly recommend you use Flickr

You can set the privacy so only your daughter can see the photos, and she will be able to print them off if she wishes to.

It is far too big to send as an email attachment

Why don't you send a few at a time?

Just a thought.
I had the same problem and Flickr solved the problem very well. By loading the pictures on Flickr with Family and Friends privacy setting I was able to easily distribute wedding photos to contacts in Australia and UK with very little hassle. Moreover they were able to use the same facilities and share their photos - so ended up with a large collection of shared photos.
Question Author
I should have said the original disc received was in a WEB/E-MAIL formulated disc and is 5.3 M bytes in size. Is that too big to send. Am having a look at the Flickr site. Thanks for your help so far.
If you mean that a message appears on her machine, then she needs to do the following.
Click Tools/Options
Go to the Security tab
Uncheck the box "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus"
Alternatively upload the single file folder to www.sendthisfile.com from where she can download it in one go.
