emailing from windows photo gallery

Make sure you put them into a .zip folder and try not to exceed 2MB by much (which is really only 2 or 3 jpeg pictures). Some ISP's don't like that and will abort your mail. If you want to share a lot of pictures with someone, upload them to Photobucket or the Kodak gallery. There you can distribute hundreds.
Whenever I download photos from whichever source, besides the photos going into Windows Picture Gallery, they also appear in my Picture Folder. The Picture Folder is part of Vista so you should have it, just like Vista provides a Music Folder. In my Picture Folder I have numerous sub-folders which I label as required, such as "Holiday in Greece 2005" or "Xmas 2001" etc. I then customise the sub-folder icon with a photo from that folder. Finding and opening a folder is quick and easy and makes for interesting viewing when showing friends. All photos in each sub-folder are "Thumbnails" rather than "Details".
To email a photo simply highlight it, right click and click "send to" and "mail recipient". (I am assuming you are using Windows Mail, if not I suggest you activate it) It gathers mail from most mail servers, except for Hotmail.
Once you click on "mail recipient" a box will appear giving you a choice of sizes. I always send my photos "Medium" size. After that it is just a case of entering an email address, typing a message and pressing send.
I hope this helps.
