You can save other formats from MS Paint (including PNG!), and Outlook will let you attach them. (Open MS Paint, take your screen shot with Alt-PrtSc, hit Ctrl-V in Paint followed by Save As... Voila!) That's significantly less hurl-inducing than Word-encapsulated JPGs. Also, there's a Windows version of GIMP that also works well for acquiring and cropping screenshots. That said, I still don't want to see the 1GB "Me too!" email.

!this Posted Nov 1, 2009 7:18 UTC (Sun) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] I have all the GIMP for Windows and use it for serious work; it works very well. But the 5 second "alt+print screen, ctrl+v" message that doesn't even touch the hard disk, and that contains a bug report or a bug resolution, still takes about 5 MBs. There, my timesaver is your spacecruncher.

Fair enough.
Mind you, I was comparing launching MS Paint vs. launching MS Word, since you mentioned sending screenshots wrapped in a Word document. (And I only mentioned GIMP in case you wanted to get fancier than what MS Paint lets you do.)
