Question about Outlook Express

With my previous Window XP I could easily send a Photograph via email:
Highlight the thumbnail in a My Pictures folder > click on it > Send To > [a pane opens: pics altered to JPEG's and a downsized pixel dimension of 640x480 ] . OK.  Then Outlook Express auto-opened with the downsized pic as an attachment (and also within the body of the email) - all ready to be sent.  Easy and convenient.

Now, with my Windows 7, I get as far as,  Send To > [a pane again opens, this time offering choices of downsizing - which is good and better than previously] > OK.   But that is it !    Windows Live Mail window doesn't auto-open, no attachment can be found, and the pic that was downsized and 'Sent To' hasn't been sent anywhere that I an find! 

Please help: how do I email a photograph?
