Snipping Tool on Vista

I've recently discovered the Snipping Tool (I'm on Vista Ultimate) and think it will be useful, however I'm having a problem. irrespective of which tool I use to select something, my next intention is to send it via email. I have a choice of FILE>SEND to > and either of the email or attachment options

OR

clic on the envelope and again either of the options

BUT, nothing happens.

any ideas please?

Geo,
I have just tried snipping tool vista, and have had no problem doing what you wish to do. So the system works as described.
Try saving it first in your doucment file, open your email and send as an attachement.
or else paste it directly in to the body of your email.
regards

thank you, that worked for me, I owe you one.
