my point was, don't email the files, email a link to them on a photo 
gallery website...   that way the user clicks on the link and can view 
the gallery online, and download the pictures if he wants....  
if you mail a zip file, the user has to save the zip file, unzip it 
somewhere, then find and run a local picture viewer against the 
generated folder.

I suggested picasa because the original poster mentioned it, Picasa will 
post a gallery to your (free up to 1GB) account on the picasaweb server 
with a single click of the album "sync' button...
