(Same for jpegs and other compressed files.) No you can’t compress an mp3 any smaller really as it’s already compressed. (Same for jpegs and other compressed files.)

So this really just works for documents and applications. If you wan't to make the photos smaller you'll have to do it from iphoto. Click on share, and then email.

I had 23mb of photos, then I zipped it, and now have a 23mb zip file. Any ideas on how to further compress files or folders, so I can actually email them out without gmail yelling at me?
