sending photos as attachments

[Edwina]

Please help me (not familiar with windows mail)
Have followed instrucions in help menu, it says after you select the photos
and size etc, windows should then open a new email for me - it doesn't, if I
open a new one, there is no attachment there.
If I try to attach the way I am used to with outlook express (by selecting,
then send to/mail recipient), I can not make the pictures smaller.
What am I doing wrong? I am sure it should be easier than this.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Maybe you need to set the default e-mail client.

1. Open Windows Photo Gallery.
2. Select the picture(s).
3. Click "E-mail" on the toolbar.
The rest is self-evident.
