Reverend, yes, I am using "Make my pictures smaller" option in the "Email this file". That's working fine. The only problem emailing pictures that way is you can only send one at a time per email. So what you are saying regarding inserting or attaching a picture directly into mail is that the picture will retain it's full original size and there are no options in OE to change this. So then all pictures emailed from OE will be huge?
