Email Photos in iPhoto '11?

Question

I've had almost every Apple since the IIe, including the original the IIe, the original Mac Portable and the Newton. I may not qualify as a pure evangelist, but I'm a darn good advocate.
This new version of iPhoto, even with the update today, has left me disheartened and disappointed.
One of the best features, until now, was the ability to choose multiple photos, select a size and and have them attach quickly into an email program. It was a big selling point to show Windows users how cumbersome emailing photos was for them.
I can accept the new card format but I cannot figure out why the photos have to be attached as a zip file. While zip files don't bother me all that much, many of my end users have no clue what a zip file is let alone how to get the photos out. In the old version, they displayed within the email and it was perfect for viewing multiple photos. Now, there are layers to actually get to the photos. Today's upgrade to allow better sizing is a marginal improvement at best.
In the next upgrade, please just bring back the ability to add them to an email as attachments.
Or, is there a workaround?

Apple did right. But their biggest problem is that the new email feature doesn't accept the mail servers as they stand in your mail program.
I suspect - but this is just a wild guess - that iPhoto mixes up the login details for your separate mail accounts (for getting your mail from the incoming server) with the outgoing server login details. I have 6-7 different mail accounts that use the the same server login, the one for my main mail account.
This works, as ever, in Mail, and has never been any problem when transferring account details to iPhone. But iPhoto on the same computer...Shame on yourApple, Christmas and all...
