In what format are you sending your photos? For example, jpeg is

Umm, not necessarily. JPEGs compression can range from a setting of 0 (no
compression, high quality) to 100% (max compression, lowest quality).

You can reduce the size of the file by making the photo smaller.

Definitely. Photo size and compression settings are the two places that
will have the maximum affect on a JPEG filesize. More below:

Whenever i send photo's as an attachment on my OE vers6, nearly
always the email and certainly the attachments get returned to me.

What is the exact error message in the returned e-mail?

I am led to believe i can compress the photo's which will allow the
attachments to arrive at their destination??

The maximum file size you can e-mail is limited by the ISP and different
ISPs have different limits. You'd have to check with your ISP or visit
their support pages to find the maximum size you can send out.

Do i have to download a
Compression Programme ??

Hard to say: What are you using to create the JPEGs right now? What is a
typical filesize of the attachments you're trying to send? What graphics
editing program/s do you already have? IFF you have anything that saves
to a JPEG (.JPG) format, then you can control the size and compression of
the picture. Size in the program and compression during the Save dialogs.

Can anybody offer advice on this matter please

Can't say much more without more information. A pretty decent, free
graphics editing program is irfanview at www.irfanview.com. It'll let you
do everything you need to do and a lot more.
