I noticed that you're using Outlook Express, but if you have access to
a Unix system (like Linux) I have a perl script that I've written that
uses pbmtools and the cjpeg/jpeg stuff to create thumbnails of all
files within a given directory (it just sets the largest dimension to 'n'

Image::Size.pm installed.
If that's useful or of interest, let me know and I'll send you the script.
