That can be a real bummer.

A good rule is never less than two digital copies of anything important.

==========================
Are these files from a digital camera?
Try downloading them from the camera
again.

What is the exact error message?

==================================
Sorry, but based on the info you have provided
I have no idea what the problem is.

Have the file names changed? Are all of your
images corrupted or just the ones in this particular
folder?

Have you tried running a full system virus scan
using the most recent definitions?

Can you post the *exact* steps you took when
e-mailing the images? And just to verify...
could you view the images just before sending
the e-mail?

How many images were you attempting to attach
to the message? Do you know the memory size
of the group?
