reducing image size before sending

How can I reduce the size of images I am sending? I would prefer to do this while the image is already attached rather than in my folders first if possible.
Thanks!

I'm afraid you'll need to size the images before attaching them like
everyone else on the planet. ; )

That's surprising -- outlook has it as part of its common picture tools...
Too bad .

Yes, I got Entourage when I switched from PC to Mac hearing that it was the "same" but just worked on a Mac platform. I am finding there are a number of things that Entourage is not capable of that I took for granted with Outlook, much to my disappointment. Thanks for the reply, though!

Entourage is not Outlook. It's not even a port of Outlook to Mac.

While they share some of the same features you shouldn't expect them to
have all the same features or work the same way.

If your images are in iPhoto then Entourage can import your iPhoto items
and size them as small, medium or large.

1. Select Tools --> Toolbox --> Object Palette.
2. Click the camera icon on the third tab.
3. In the far upper right corner click the "Toolbox Settings" icon.
4. Select your preferred size and click the OK button.
5. Drag and drop your preferred image from the Oject Palette.

If you're composing your message as HTML then the picture should appear
in the body of your message so long as it is below 400k.

Hope this helps!
