I occasionally mail screenshots to colleagues and clients from the official Google Mail
app on my iPhone.
Apparently, it automatically scales them down:
The image originally was a 1.9 MB
screenshot from the new iPad.

At the moment you cannot configure this. As an alternative you can use the native email app which will ask you if you want to resize large images and let you choose their new size.
