sending pictures with Windows Mail

when looking at a folder with pics , I click on top of the window to email
the selected pic, , I choose the size and Attach. Where does it go? Shouldn't
it open a new email with the pic already attached to it? Also is there a size
limit for email from WIndow Mail?

I preferably email pictures from within Windows Photo Gallery which gives
you the option of selecting appropriate sizes to send by email.

Have you setup a default email client in the OS? Open Windows Mail and type
in your contact information.

The default mailer is supposed to open. Try these steps:

Click Start, select Default Programs
Click Set program access and computer defaults
Click Custom, and select Windows Mail
Click OK

Then, follow these steps:

Click Set your default programs
Select your mail client from the list
Click Set this program as default
Click OK

You need to select the entry "Windows Mail", NOT "Windows Mail(News)"
