Can't email photos from iPad

I am trying to email photos from my iPad. I follow the following procedure.

Open the photo album that contains the photo’s that I want to send.
I select the edit button (top right) and select the photo’s to send.
I then select the share button (top left), but there is no email option only Print and Message!

The frustrating thing is that I was able to do this yesterday. I have no idea what has changed. Email is up and running and sending and receiving email. Any ideas?

iPad, iOS 5.1

Quit the photos app and restart the iPad.

Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus ➖ sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Or try a reset.

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

You must have selected more than 5 photos.

You can use GoodReader to send more than 5 photos. I have tried 15 photos.

I am experiencing the same exact problem emailing a single photo from my iPad Mini. I have read all of the replies and it does not appear there has been a proper fix identified to correct the problem. Does anyone know how to elevate the issue to an Apple Tech to have it properly addressed and resolved for Apple users?
