WinXP's resizer for pictures to be sent by e-mail: How to auto-delete the smaller files it creates?

[Jeff7]

My mom has a digital camera, and she knows to resize pictures before e-mailing them, so that unsuspecting people don't download a 500kB file without warning.
She right-clicks on the file(s) to send, selects Send To Mail Recipient, and then gets the option to resize pictures.
It then stashes the resized file in her Attachments folder.

She doesn't want it to do this.

Is there any way to make this resize thing either automatically delete those files after they've been sent, or else just stash them in some temporary folder for easy deletion?

E-mail client is Eudora.

Seems like that should be an option in the resize tool program. You or she should poke around in there.

Edit:
I just reread your topic title, and I guess this is a built in XP Function? If so, you may be able to handle the attachments via filters in Eudora. I've never used that client, so I don't know what's available.

Edit2:
Sigh....

There's nothing there to poke around at.

Your only options are: Resize/don't resize, and 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768. There are no other options.

And yes, this resize thing is a Windows feature.



....Ok, well, Eudora has an option called, "Delete automatic attachments: Never/After sending message/When message emptied from trash."

I selected After sending message.
It didn't do a thing. The resized image is still sitting in the attachments folder.

Resize them with MS Paint.

Or Irfanview.

And I think she'd really prefer to use the built-in utility. It takes a lot of steps out of the process.
