What software you using to convert your RAW to jpg? What size and color space do you convert them too? It may good idea to post a jpg photo that you say isn't sharp on this thread. Arnold

Do you edit the jpegs after you have converted them from raw? If so, do you save them to the same filename? If the answer to both of these questions is "yes" then that is probably the problem.
There are more than a few posts about raw v. jpeg; just search.

The conversion from RAW to JPG should not affect how sharp the photo is, with one possible exception . . . your software may be corrupting the file in some way.
Most software that allows you to email a photo will resize the photo to something more manageable by the email systems (by making them smaller in size). This process will, on occasion, render the photo with less quality.

What JPEG quality are you using? Once you have the image you want, top-quality JPEGS (8 and above, depending on the size you blow them up to) are normally indistinguishable from TIFFs, but bottom-quality JPEGS can be awful.

The raw image is not sharpened yet, you must sharpen it yourself.
Jpegs apply the sharpening you designate in your camera.
Raw images are notoriously blah until you apply adjustments to them. Most people don't notice, because all the converters have default values, almost none of which are zero.
Once you cook your RAW image according to your recipe, you have a palatable photo.
See how I worked in the food analogy? :D

This is what I'm thinking. emails, Facebook and such compress images even more making them only viewable online. However, Yahoo allows for full res images but I don't know if that leaves them in their original state or not.
