So I was over at my uncle's house for thanksgiving today, and he wanted to know how to send more than one picture at a time to someone. So I had him show me how he sends pictures now. Turns out that XP SP2 added an "E-mail picture" task.
Whenever you select a JPG in Explorer the E-mail picture task appears. What makes it sweet is that it automatically resizes the picture to one of three sizes for you and then attaches it to a new, blank e-mail. It's ridiculously easy.
The only gotcha is what e-mail clients it works with. So far I've tested it successfully with AOL and hotmail. Doesn't seem to work with GMail as it takes the e-mail client out of the default client selected in IE's settings, and the G-mail notifier doesn't appear there.
Anyone know of other e-mail clients this works with?
