Is there an elegant Ubuntu way of doing something that I do a lot with 
XP?

When I want to email a photograph with XP, I right click on the picture 
and select Send To - Mail Recipient.

What this does is to make a re-sized and compressed version of the 
picture (without affecting the original) and then launch the default 
email client, with the picture set up as an attachment in a new email.

This makes it amazingly quick and easy to email a photograph to someone.

Now, is there an elegant way of doing this in Ubuntu?
It doesn't need to be completely as easy.
Just as easy and quick as possible.

I can think of crude ways of doing it, such as using an image editing 
program to resize every picture as it is put onto the computer.
But I bet there are neater ways of going on.
And I welcome ideas from the experts reading this.
