MMS error when sending images

Q. When I take photos with my N70 and want to send them via MMS, I currently have to make a copy of each photo and then use a third party utility to shrink them down, and only then 'Send>via multimedia', otherwise I fall foul of the 100k limit on MMS. Is there an easier way?

A. The trick is to go into Messaging and use 'Options>Settings>Multimedia message' and set 'Image size' to 'Small' or 'Large'. These options tell Messaging to resample all subsequent high resolution images down to fit inside 10k or 35k messages respectively.
