    Simple outlook emailing question

    I need to email a directory/folder with a bunch of icon files, and a program to a different email acount! I can't seem to find anything in Outlook that allows me to select a whole directory or folder...I know I could zip this stuff up, but I will be accessing it on a linux machine at school, so it really needs to be a folder.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Not sure about that. You could always just send the files? Be a bit of a fudge but it's more likely to work

    I'm not aware of any email client that can do that, however you can achieve the same result by opening the folder and selecting all the files and attaching them. It will attach them one by one, but it saves you having to attach each file individually.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    What version of Outlook do you have?


    I usually zip them up to take less space. But you can add a whole folder pretty simple too. Well, not the folder, but if you press the "add file" button. And then go into the folder you want to send. Mark ALL the files you want to send (with your mouse, or shift click or Ctrl click. Then press insert. And it will insert all of them.

    I had a zip utility for Unix a long time ago. It worked well.

    Linux most often have ZIP build in when you install it.
