I almost always want mail to send a "Actual Size" image. However sometimes having mail automatically resize an image to "small/medium/large" is handy. However, after doing so Mail remembers the last selected option and sets any future image attachments at that smaller size – which at times, I forget to switch back "to Actual Size". I would like mail to ALWAYS default to "Actual Size" for attached images. — I doubt there is a known workaround but if so, I'd love to know it.

I found a nice application, Stay, that seems to do exactly what I need. I'll try it out this next Friday when I telecommute.
Best is to reduce the photos before they are added to Pages.
For printing they do not have to be more than 300 dpi.
For viewing on the screen about 75 - 100 dpi.
Pages doesn't do the job as you found out.
You can do it in Preview > tools > Adjust size (on a Mac)
If do not ant to leave the iPad then you can use one of the many external apps to do it.
Additional Info:
The Resolution has the biggest impact on the file size, not so the size of the image.

You can select image size below the subject line. There you can find a selection bar for small, middle, large and original size which sends the image without compression.
