Can anyone explain to me why it is that if I send a standard photograph as
an attachment it appears so big in the viewing panel?

Even better, is there a way in either Outlook Express or Mail that I can
make it appear in a smaller size?

Thanks,

Noel

OE displays every pixel and ignores the picture size.
Either reduce the pixels per inch resolution or reduce the size.

This will also reduce the file size so the email will send faster.

If you are scanning an image for display on a monitor, setting the
scanner resolution to about 100 DPI (dots per inch) is reasonable. If
you have already have an image and want to make it smaller, many image
editing programs have such a function (often called resample, resize, or
stretch). It's important that you reduce the image number of pixels
(picture elements). Some programs offer an option to change the display
resolution. This doesn't alter the image or file size, it just tells
display programs what resolution to use when they display the image.
Many display programs ignore that option and display at a fixed
resolution. Most scanners and digital cameras include a simple image
editing program. Depending on your version of Windows, you may be able
to use the Windows Paint program. Others are available at shareware
sites. See the URL in my signature for links to shareware sites. Also
