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.

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.
