Are you using Send To mail recipient or Send To mail recipient (as
attachment)?
The first sends an HTML email. Your message and picture would be viewed in
OE.
The HTML code for the image will have height and width attributes.
If you insert a picture in an OE message composition window, OE does not use
height and width attributes.

The second sends a Doc file. It has to be opened in Word.

Please describe how you are sending the Doc file.
