You should include LastPass in your list of password managers. It’s a great product and is free.

It was addressed to me directly. The URL is mcafeeupdatecc.com which is registred to McAfee according to WHOIS, so it sure looks like it’s from McAfee to me.

Larry, this has annoyed me for years as well, but I’ve never seen a way to get change it. I think you are just stuck.

I have used Paint Shop Pro since version 3 and have a way to make the screen shots smaller when pasted into an email using that. It won’t work for photos and isn’t a good solution if you want a very high resolution version of the image, but for simple screen shots, particularly of a settings dialog or something like that here’s what I do:

[*]Copy the image to the clipboard.
[*]Paste it into Paint Shop Pro.
[*]Press Ctrl+Shift+3 to change the image to 256 colors (this is why it won’t work for photos).
[*]Copy the image back to the clipboard.
[*]Paste it inline in the email.

This still ends up pasting a BMP format file, but ti’s now a 256 color image rather than 16-bit image which is significantly smaller. I don’t have Photoshop, but I’m sure you can do the same thing with it. If you have another type of image editing software that allows changing the image resolution, this might work.

I know it’s extra steps and somewhat limited, but maybe that helps in some cases.
