Photo Gallery Email Function Does Nothing - please help

HELP. I'm trying to use the Windows Photo Gallery "Email" function, in 32-bit
Vista. When I select some pictures and choose the Email function, then hit
the Attach button, the pictures are reduced in size and sent "somewhere", but
I have no clue where they are sent. No new mail message is opened (am using
Windows-Mail for email). It just sends the reduced pictures to an undisclosed
location.
I've already gone to the Default Programs, chosen "Custom", and tried to
make sure the correct Mail program is default. However, when I do this, the
only choice offered is "use my current email program", and the radio button
next to it is already selected.
Can anyone tell me how to get the Email function to work? I need this to
easily reduce the size fo the pictures I wish to email. Thanks.

checked.
