How to Attach Photos in MSN
MSN email, which also includes emails ending in "msn.com," "hotmail.com" or "live.com," works similarly to other email programs. According to the MSN website, free Hotmail account users can send and receive emails with up to 10 MB, and Hotmail Plus accounts can send and receive up to 20 MB. You may need to send several emails to transmit all the information you want if you exceed these size limits. Attaching photos to email is simple; you'll just need to know the file names and their locations on your computer.

Tips & Warnings
Attach your photos at the beginning of the email, as this ensures you won't forget to attach them at the end.
MSN automatically reduces your photos to 600 pixels wide or tall to enable better online viewing.
