How to Compress AOL Mail
Photos and other files are sent as attachments using AOL Mail. When you attach more than one file to an email, the AOL system automatically compresses the files into a folder that must be decompressed by the recipient to view. If you want to compress the files yourself prior to mailing, you can create a zip folder on your desktop that will do this for you.
