No icons indicating EMAIL.... i went to something called Image share.... there was an "Email" there... tried that... and it was NOT working!! Its probably a very good thing, that i can't seem to get hold of HP tech support, right now.... 'cause they would really get an earful.... I'm tired of things that don't WORK like they are supposed to!!!!

I can choose the picture I want, click on "Email" and take it from there.
