My sister has sent me about a dozen emails which basically consist of
attached scanned photo's or newspaper cuttings. If you have been to a
photo site where they have thumbnail images that you click on to see
the full sized image.....well the scanned images sent to me are about
the thumbnail size....even at 300% it's hard to make any detail.
If I "File->Save As->", I get a file with the email header stuff and
then the text version of the attached photo.
Short of getting my sister to Archive/Zip the files before she sends
them, is there some way I can re-claim these emailed photos??
TIA

If the resolution is too small to blow up with the Ctrl-+, then it won't
get any better if you save it and view it with another program.
Apparently your sister is sending you thumbnails or low resolution
scans, and the only solution is for her to take higher resolution scans
and send them. Most scanners produce JPEGs, and those can be shurnk
quite a bit without losing clarity, given the right program, but there
is still a limit. If you want to be able to print them at a size larger
than what you see on your screen, higher actual resolution is needed.

Everett gave the long answer -- the short answer is "no".
Is there a possibility that they are hyperlinked to a photo sharing site?
Otherwise, you and your sister need to introduce each other to "Dropbox"
shared folders. :-)

Never thought of the Dropbox idea, Jim, could be worth a bit of
investigation.
Normally they send pics of 400k or 500kbytes, ten or a dozen at a time,
but, as my ISP only allows 500kbytes before he starts charging extra, I
bitch and complain to my sister about the extra charge...........looks
like they might actually be listening to me!!
