Outgoing email hangs Mail permanently -- too many photos.

I put 20 or so photos copied from Messages in an email to myself as a way to move them into Photos. The size was too big to go through my server. Mail froze and I was not able to click on anything in Mail. I forced quit it but as soon as it re-opened, the problem was still there -- the email I tried to send with the warning about size. I forced quit again and waited a half-hour and tried again -- same problem.

In Messages, click the background outside of the image. Then right-click on the image, and choose Add to Photos Library. If you right-click a second time on the image, a different secondary menu will appear that won't help you. In that case, perform the first two sentences again.
