Sending photos

I've been sending photos to a friend via hotmail, and they are saying they are too big!! Typically they are 325kb saved as jpegs. I use the software supplied with my camera - Nikon Browser and Nikon View, I've tried saving as tif and bmp, but it just seems to increase the file size. How can I make them smaller??

I've about six different types of photo software but the one I use the most (and it's also the simplest) is Freeware called IrfanView. It's absolutely brilliant and re-sizing to below the target 100kb is a breeze. If you want to try it here's the link:
