Sending e-mails that include photos are actually much more challenging than it seems. E-mails have almost no image control abilities, leaving all the control for image display to the application used to display your message. Some e-mail accounts may even limit the maximum size of message, including any photo that is embedded in it. These complex requirements mean that images must be edited in a different application prior to their attachment in an e-mail.

A good e-mail has to be designed with the intended recipient clearly considered.  
A good e-mail has to be designed with the intended recipient clearly considered. In most circumstance, this means that including large pictures is ill-advised. As a rule of thumb, most images should have a resolution below 1000 pixels on any axis and if multiple images are used, the final message size should be below 5 MB, particularly when directed at corporate e-mail. This ensures that just about any e-mail service will accept such messages. Services such as Yahoo! mail may accept a maximum size of 25 MB. This creates a rough guideline of the maximum size of photos you should incorporate. Messages with more than 5 photos are cumbersome to navigate as messages have few layout options that work on computers as well as mobile devices.
