Hi Robert,
I can’t help with the PSE/e-mail routine as I’ve never used it. What I’ve always done, with any graphics program, is save a copy of the image I want to send, separately from my "master" image, the open up my e-mail client (Mozilla in this case) and attach from there.
This works very well from PSE2’s "Save for Web…" options, as it allows you to size the image appropriately for your intended receipient. (i.e.: are they on dial-up or broadband etc.) It’s also much easier to attach mulitple images to a single e-mail.
Just a thought.

Robert,
Email shouldn’t have much to do with your internet browser. But you should be using either Outlook or Outlook Express for your email use..
Bob
BobH,
Netscape (and Mozilla) are full Internet suites and include browsers, e-mail clients, IRC chat clients and a Web page composer, all in one big suite. The trend these days is to go for individual apps (Mozilla Firebird browser and Thunderbird e-mail client for example), but I like the integration of the suite. I’ve been using Netscape/Mozilla for my e-mail since Netscape 2.02 (1998) and am now on Mozilla 1.5 and each migration, from machine to machine and Windows to OS/2 to Mac OS X has been totally painless.
I just tried using PSE2’s "Attach to e-mail…", but it doesn’t like Mozilla, it would appear. I think it’s looking for Apple’s Mail application or Entourage. Oh, well. 😉
Besides, I don’t believe Outlook/Express is available for Mac OS X.
There’s another thread going about this, specifically dealing with Mac’s at: Barbara Brundage "no attach to email in Panther?" 11/17/03 2:01pm </cgi-bin/webx?14>
So there are hiccups in the system.

Kyle,
Perhaps there is a certain group thing, but hardly a "trend". Without going into philosophical situations, however, this is why you are having trouble with your email link in Elements. This was NOT designed to work with all email clients. It WAS designed for the most popular one, and that’s MS Outlook and Outlook Express. You should, however, be able to use whatever file attachment options that your current email client offers and then just direct it to the Elements worked (or other) images you wish to send.
Bob
Bob,
It’s not philosophical differences or anything like that. All that the Mac OS X users are saying is that:
* there is an "Attach to e-Mail" button and menu item in Photoshop Elements, and * there never has been, and apparently never will be, Outlook or Outlook Express for OS X
So Adobe must’ve designed it for something. 🙂
I can’t speak to the MAC, Lou. But if Elements is designed for all MAC systems, then I’d say whatever is the most popular email client should very much work there. I believe that Barbara has covered this situation, however.
