I'm curious why you think its a pain to use the email preset in LR 1.3? Mine puts mine in a designated folder with the parameters as I want them and I just use that as an attachment. Are you wanting it to pull up the email window for you like Picasa? I wonder how important that would be for most people---when its basically one more step to do it directly in email.

Eh? One more step?
1. Leave Lightroom ....
2. Navigate to open email application (Microsoft Outlook)....
3. Wait for email application to load and download existing emails from server (which I don't want to read right now...... I just want to send a photo to a friend/relative/clinet/blog....
4. Navigate to create new email....
5. Start having to navigate my directory structures to find the folder that lgihtroom saved the picture in.....
6. Scroll down past several earlier exported pictures that I don't want to email and find the one that I don want to email.....
7. Wait a sec for the attachement to load and after typing a brief message hit the send button.....
8. Close email app (Free up resources, already running lightroom, CS3 and a few toher apps).....
9. Return to ligthroom.....
10. Look at some more images taken from the camera....oh look might send that one to my blog...Hmm...here we go again...back to step 1......
So whilst Ligthroom 2 is in Beta I would humbly like to ask for a feature request:- "
Send by email".
It would be a nice touch.
