attaching pics

Previously, when using outlook express on xp, if I wanted to send a photo as
an attachment I would simply right-click the image, go 'send to' and then
click on 'mail recipient'. I could then choose a size I wanted to send the
image as and it would then automatically open an e-mail with the image
attached.

Now, on Vista, When I right-click the image and go 'send to', 'recipient'
and change the size. I click ok and nothing happens. It just closes the
window and nothing happens from there. When I look in windows mail there are
no drafts or anything with the image attached.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

For Windows Mail, you have to have the picture closed in all other
programs when you attach it.

I have tried this. It does not seem to work. could another program be using
the image without me knowing?

I have managed to fix my problem. It turns out that windows mail was not my
default e-mail program. Upon making it the default it worked perfectly!
