Within a post window: If you have already inserted the picture in your post, before you Send it, you can re-size the picture by dragging on the 'handles' that are on each side of the picture.  You may have to play with it abit to keep the proportions right.

The picture is now in the window.  Click on 'Image', then click on 'Stretch/Skew'. You want to change the horizontal AND the vertical to a lesser size.  I prefer 25%.  Make sure you change in both, then click 'OK'.  The smaller picture is now in the window.  You want to then SAVE this new,smaller size with a NEW name.  Click on File, then 'Save as', give the new picture a name, and click 'Save'.
