On AOL upload the pictures to a screenname space and publish that location. (i.e.: http://members.aol.com/innfosale/ebay/9845br1b.jpg ) AOL zips all multiple pics so I don't use it for that. I, too, get uncomfortable receiving zips and generally do not download them. Rarely do I open one even if it is from someone I know. AOL has gotten much better. (my opinion as a user, please no flames). Paxton Astoria, OR
