Thunderbird questions ownership of my own images

I am using Thunderbird 91.8.0 on Windows 10 on my desktop. If I open a photograph I have taken in Windows Photo Viewer and attach the image to an e-mail using the e-mail tab it reduces the image size and attaches it to a new Thunderbird e-mail. If I want to attach more images they also need to be reduced or the mail becomes too big. How do I do that, because if I open each image in Photo Viewer and attach it to an e-mail and then drag it into my first e-mail it won't send it because it questions the ownership of the image. They are my images, in the same folder as the first one. I could send a bunch of individual e-mails each with one image but that is tedious. What am I missing?

I am pretty sure you've misunderstood something. Could you attach screenshots about the error messages?

Also, have you tried to attach the images using the conventional way, i.e. directly drag-and-dropping into the mail? Maybe the Photo Viewer application is misbehaving.

Thanks Balazs. If I attach images as you suggest they are not compressed and the e-mail becomes very large and people might not be able to receive it. Dragging the compressed messages and sending them I get the error message 'Sending of the message failed. There was an error attaching 0 DSCF 5479.jpg. Please check that you have access to the file.'

I tried to attach a screenshot here but after it spent 10 minutes trying to upload it I gave up.
