In Winodws98 or higher OS version, CompMail does not need any extract

you need help about this issue.

Then the file is compressed and attached to the E-mail automatically. See the
picture below. Next fill the title, TO, CC, text and necessary information, and
send. (When the file to be compressed is too big, it takes some time to see
this new message window.)

(note) Even if you are not opening a E-mail program (Outlook Express etc.), when
you click Send button in this screen, this message is saved in your OUTBOX
folder of the E-mail program. So, to send your message outside, start your Email program and click Send/Recv button. Then your message really goes
outside.

3.2 Compress, Attach to E-mail, and Send(picture file <*.jpg>)

Drag the file you want to compress and drop it on the CompMail Icon on the
desktop.

Then you will have this screen. Drag the track bar, select the resize rate you like, and click
Resize button. Default rate is 1/2 (File size is 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4).

Then the picture file is resized and compressed like this.

(NOTE) Resize is different from Compress. Compressed file,

*.cab, can be extracted to original file, but Resize is changing the
file and it is irreversible. When the Resized picture was received, the
recipient can see the resized picture but cannot change its size into
original one before resize.

By these steps the file is extracted. Please use the file on the desktop or
wherever you put.
(NOTE) If other compress/extract software are installed in your PC, the
extraction procedure is different from this manual. In that case, follow the
instruction of the software.

4. Note
* When you compress the file over 500KB, it takes much more minutes than
usual. In that case, please just wait for some minutes.
*CompMail is a compression software for E-mail which is used in our E-mail
system service. Therefore, when you are using other service or when you
have not installed E-mail software yet, it does not work correctly.
