Honestly, in our modern world, there are all kinds of occasions when sending something {not just a picture} as an email attachment is necessary. You need to know how to do that .... and then sending pictures without Picasa will be simple also.
In Adobe you can reduce the file size by re-sizing the shot. Not automatic as it may have been for you but easy to learn it. I do it when I need to e-mail as my e-mail will not do full size shots. Just reduce the shot to 50 to 100 pixels keeping the same length and width.
