If I understand correctly that .showmypc will allow me to log into the customer's computer, this won't work. They have a very strict rules about remote access. The simplest thing would be to ask him to capture screen and include the image in the email. Thank you for your suggestion.

Nowadays most of the email clients can paste a bitmap straight from the clipboard. Thunderbird can, just tried; maybe even Outlook can do this. So, your instructions for emailing can be

The bulk is due to the screen capture being a bitmap. I just did a test of capturing my UT browser window in FireFox:
- Dumping straight into Outlook 2007 created a 327K e-mail
- Dumping into a Word 2007 document created a 309K .docx
- Dumping into Paint and saving as the default .png created a 265K .png
- Saving from Paint as a .jpg was 437K
UT in FireFox is quite "busy" so compression with .png etc. doesn't buy you a lot by default, but I've seen some cases with from 3x to 10x compression compared to the original bitmap.
