Email an Image

Send the current image as an email attachment. The result will include an actual-size picture of the current image, including any overlays. For example, if you have displayed the tracing and analysis, the resulting picture will include both these items. But if you disable all other features so you are only looking at the ceph, your picture will include only the ceph image.
