Jannelu,
If you want to resize pictures, you have to start with the picture files
before sending them. You can't do it by opening Outlook Express and Writing
a message from there first. I have no idea why you have to do it this way,
but you do.
From XP HELP:
To send a photo in e-mail:
1.. Open My Pictures, and then open the folder containing the photo you want
to send in e-mail.
2.. Click the photo you want to send.
3.. Under File and Folder Tasks, click E-mail this file.
4.. In the Send Pictures via E-mail dialog box, click Make all my
pictures smaller. Windows makes a smaller photo file and attaches it to an
e-mail message that displays a default subject and text message.
5.. In the To box, type the e-mail address of the person to receive the
picture, change the subject and message text if you want, and then click
Send.
Notes
a.. To open My Pictures, double-click the My Documents icon on your desktop,
and then double-click the My Pictures folder.
b.. Use this procedure for photos of file size greater than 64
kilobytes (KB). To check the file size of your photo, right-click the file,
click Properties, and look at Size.
c.. To send the photo without reducing the size of the file, click Keep the
original sizes.
d.. To change the settings for the size of the image, click Show more
options.
e.. If you have many pictures to share with others, you can publish them to
the Web instead of sending them in e-mail.

Or you can...

to send in e-mail.

3.. Point to Send To and select Mail Recipient

5.. Click OK
6.. Outlook Express Message opens with picture attached.
7.. In the To box, type the e-mail address of the person to receive the
