When sending an image as an attachment you can select the picture size of Small, Medium, Large and Don't Resize. I want to be able to set this to default to Large. Is there a Group Policy setting for this or a registry change?

I assume this is Office 2007, yes? Not sure, but a reg entry for this would be under that key.

If it's in GP, run gpedit.msc and check. I don't have any Office settings in there, but I don't have Office 2007, and I don't know how your system was configured.

Is there a way to set the default size in Options?

Also, I believe that if you embed the image, rather than just attach it, it will not resize at all.

The poor sod sitting at the other end waiting for the attachment to come through.

No offence to all the Americans out there, but I've witnessed the utter misery on European users' faces when they receive an American email with American-sized image attachments. Once they've committed to opening their email there is little hope left in their lives - any further system productivity goes flying through the nearest window while they wait for their meagre bandwidth to hopefully not collapse under the strain of the monstrous download.

Once they have received it, many wasted minutes is spent zooming right and left and up and down trying to figure out what this picture is actually OF.

Not every European user has a plasma-sized monitor to work on but that doesn't seem to be the case across the Big Pond.
