Does this make sense?

At the other end of the spectrum are people who send photographs straight from their camera, through email. No resizing... They can't understand my complaints about a 10MB photo that arrives at 8,000 x 6,000 pixels. My display is only 1152 x 864, after all. And I have no intention of examining your cat's eyelashes for mites.
Besides, most pictures taken with a digital camera tend (in my opinion) to need to be color-corrected and adjusted in various ways before they're suitable for viewing. I always resize and color-correct my pictures before emailing them or putting them on my website or whatever. I guess it's likely that most people don't know how to resize images.
Slightly relevant to the slant this discussion has taken:
One time, my dad tried to make a logo for a tshirt using MS Word. He was trying to work with the tools he had, I guess, but it really, really wasn't working. He was using the "warp text" feature. Oh. My. God. I just about died. I wasn't sure whether to be embarrassed or amused. I had him email the word file to me (he had evidently been emailed one of the images to use IN A WORD FILE) and I was able to make a decent logo in photoshop (and I emailed it back as an image file, not in a word document!). Silly people. E-mailing pictures in word files and such.

We've gotten images in word files, too. They can be exported, but they're still lousy. And we have to work on Macs, so when they send us a PC file in MS Word - well, guess who gets to figure out how to make it usable.
We do most of our stuff with Illustrator. Now, my boss also seems to think she can use any and every picture image file (jpeg, tiff, eps, etc.) in Illustrator and print it on the color laser printer and it should look great. She doesn't know how to do anything in Photoshop except erase. Not even convert from RGB to CMYK. And she wanted me - ME - not US - to do this year's catalog in Illustrator instead of Quark Express. All 60 pages.
Not gunna do it - wouldn't be prudent - at this juncture.
