You don't say what versions of anything you're using, but in Ubuntu 6.06.1
which has Gnome 2.14.3 and Evolution 2.6.1 I can do this:

Browse to a picture in Nautilus.

Right click

Select "Send To..."

Enter the email address

A new evolution mail window comes up with the picture already in the
attachment bar.  There is a thumbnail of the picture so you can see what it
is.  You can add comments, then send it.  More pictures can be added by
dragging and dropping them into the attachment bar.

I'm not sure what you mean by "scale the picture" though.

Does this help?
