   I don't know which version of Ubuntu you're using but Edgy can send   
   pictures directly to an e-mail recipient compressed as a ZIP file, just   
   by right-clicking on the file in Nautilus or Metacity and selecting   
   "Send to". Won't have much effect on JPEGs, GIFs or PNGs but works   
   wonders if you're sending TIFFs or BMPs.
