It is just too much effort making copies of photos I want to email, resizing them, then deleting them once they have been sent.

Outlook has a usefull feature that will ask you what resolution to resize any attached pictures to, and it would be great to get that functionality in a free email client.

In that viewer, select one or more images. Hit F6, & the image thumbnails are shown in a new window. There you can specify a reduced pixel size for emailing. Selecting "send email" opens the default email application (Thunderbird in my case), and attaches the reduced images.

It is most convenient for this & other purposes, and it's free from:

Right Click the image(s) --> Send to --> Mail Recipient

It should prompt for a resize.

Faststone looks good too, but Ninja's solution requires les effort :)
