If you use Windows XP, here's a link to what has to be the world's
simplest picture file size reducer.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Scroll down to 'image resizer' & download it. Install the software. The
software will be invisible but will add an option to the popup menu that
appears when you right-click on a file. After installation, use your
favorite file management software (Windows Explorer works fine) to find
the picture you want to resize. Right-click on the picture file, then
click 'resize image' on the popup menu. Select the size you want
(640x480 works well for email) & click 'ok'. A new image file will be
created using the same file name but with 'small' added to the file name.
A 500k image file can be reduced to around 40k (or less) using this
program. Even if you go up in size a notch, it will still reduce
download time by around 80% & those of us forced to use dialup will be
very grateful.

Thanks much Charlie!! I downloaded this and installed it and agree it certainly has to be the easiest way if you use XP!
