Q: I am trying to e-mail photos as attachments. The picture label will not stay with the photo when attaching to an e-mail? Why is this ?
Unable to attach a photo to e-mail from I-photo and keep the text label - the photo attach's but reverts back to JPEG photo # ? why is this

1. The "text label" you refer to is the Title of the Photo. That's an entry in the IPTC metadata of the photo.
2. The "JPEG photo #" you refer to is the filename, created by yur camera.
At it's most blunt, you email files not Photos, that's why.
There are ways around this. You can export the file using the Title as Filename, for instance. That's an option in the export dialogue.
