Why are photos so small?

When I have attached and sent photos to my email pals, no one has ever complained they are `too small`. But now I have this one pal who complains they are almost too small to view. Can anyone give me a clue as to what is wrong here - could it be my settings or hers. And if so, how do we correct it?

Thanks in advance.

    i know it sounds sort of patronizing (i apologize) but i assume you are clicking on the 'Attach' icon on your email and then finding the file of the photo you are wanting to send. This will send the entirety of that file (kb, mb and resolution) so if none of your friends are having trouble, maybe this other person has trouble opening what you're sending.

    maybe it's the format of the picture? maybe their computer has trouble opening jpeg on bmp or pdf.

    it sounds like you are doing nothing wrong.

    maybe tell this person when you've sent them emails with attachments to right click on the attachment, save the file somewhere where they can find it and open the file from there....

    well firstly make sure your images is over 100kb in size. even 50kb is okish.

    and then send the file.
