Well,
Your sister must be on broadband or this is the first picture she's
sent<grin> Irfanview is a good, small free program for resizing. I've used
it for years.

A lot of people don't think about size, they're just sending a picture. They
have a broadband connection. People on dial-up learn real fast about size.
