You'll notice that now the stationary field will display the name of the stationery you used. Click the pencil next to this field if you want to give your customizations a unique name. For instance, if you choose the Flower stationary, but change the background to the sunflower design and set your photo size to small, you could save this as "Sunflowers - Sm. Photos" and be able to pick it again from the menu without going through the customize wizard.
You'll also see the file size and approximate download time for the e-mail using these settings. If the size if very big (over 1 MB) and you'll be sending to people on dial-up, you may need to go back and reduce the size of your photos.
Tip: If you want to control the order of photos when using the Photo Mail format, add the photos you want to e-mail to a collection, then drag and drop them into a custom order before selecting the E-mail command.
The Photo Mail option is my favorite because it offers such a nice presentation. The down-side is that not every e-mail program is configured to display HTML formatted messages. Some users disable HTML capabilities in their e-mail program for security reasons, and some e-mail programs simply are not capable of displaying HTML. But the majority of Internet users should be able to receive Photo Mail without a problem. However, if someone complains about not being able to view your photos, you will need to switch to individual attachments for those users. (You can add a note to the first name field in your contact list if you have any recipients who can't receive HTML mail.)
