>I first noticed this tip on the Unofficial Apple Weblog 
>(http://www.tuaw.com/) but later also noticed it at Apple's Hot News 
>RSS feed.  I didn't realize that you could do this but it has saved 
>me some steps.   I showed it to a few people here at Small Dog and 
>most didn't know about it (except for Morgan and Jimmy that seem to 
>know everything).    Normally, when I would include a picture in an 
>email, I would open iPhoto and find the picture I wanted to send and 
>choose the "mail" icon to open a new mail message with that picture 
>in it.   When I did so, I was greeted with a dialog box that would 
>let me choose the size of the photo.  Then I would compose my email 
>or drag the picture from that email message opened by iPhoto to the 
>message I was working upon.  A lot of steps to send a picture.
>
>You do not have to go through all that! After you attach a photo to 
>your email message (you can just drag-and-drop the image into the 
>new message window from iPhoto), take a look in the bottom-right 
>corner of your email message window, and you'll see a pop-up menu 
>where you can choose the image size you'd like to send. As soon as 
>you choose a size (other than actual size), the image is immediately 
>scaled down right within the email message window so you can see the 
>exact size of the photo you're sending.

>You learn something everyday about OS X!  More to come soon with Leopard!
