emailing photos as attachment files

How do I attach an iphoto as a jpeg file attachment to an email that can be opened and managed by a pc windows user? All my email photos show as actual photos imbedded in the email and can't be taken out of the email by the pc user.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Tip: Close iPhoto and open Safari and create a new email and attach files from there.

After applying this to utilities, how is this saved ? I tried this and still have problems with attachments.

Best to ask on the iPhone forum, and be sure to tell them what version of the OS you have. But assuming it's a recent one, select the pic in the Photos app and then tap the share button.
