How can I resize photos received in email messages that are Gigantic? Is there a program within Windows that would edit them?
 
Microsoft Photo Editor is by default in Win98se the program that opens the Image files and it does resize.

Just go in Image -- Resize.

If you dont have Microsoft Photo Editor for an unknow reason. Theres always the good Paint program that you will find in the Start Menu in Program and in Accessoiries.
This one do very basic resizing and only accept some type of file(bmp,jpg,gif) you can always try other format.
To resize just open the picture and go in the Menu Image you will find the resize option.

Hope it helps
 
go to start/programs/accesories/Paint.
click on the Image menu/stretch and skew.
this is where you make your adjustments...just be sure to adjust horizontal and vertical the same (or the picture will be distorted). if you want to cut the picture in half, enter 50% in both horizontal and vertical.
good luck
