Just a couple of things to add. You might suggest to the folks that receive
your pictures that they also download Irfanview since there are probably
other folks that send files to them that do not resize them first.
Irfanview has the ability to view pictures in several sizes. My preference
is to enlarge the IrfanView window and then go to View, Display options, Fit
only big images to window. This setting allows small pictures to be viewed
in their normal size (blowing them up too big will ruin the resolution) and
will reduce large pictures to the size of your window for good viewing.
I also want to stress what Ron said - that when you resize pictures,
particularly if they are in the jpg format, that you work with a copy since
each time you modify a jpg and save it, pixels are lost so the quality is
not as good.
