I finally succeeded in making my mother understand that there exists cleaner ways to share her Christmas pictures than filling up her contacts' mail boxes. Thus, she has got a PicasaWeb 'gallery' she feeds via F-Spot. She had such a success with her 'novel' approach that the rest of the family now does the same. Now, she wants to download a whole album without having to visualize the pictures one by one.
