Really?: you need to hone your searching skills!  You seem to be using 
Windows without telling us.

See ?windows, which links to ?savePlot.

Note that this is not a recommended way to do things even in S-PLUS 
(sic).  In R, use win.metafile() directly (or preferably a less flaky 
graphics format: just about any other counts as 'less flaky').

That does mean you: it asked you not to send HTML but properly 
formatted text email, and to give 'at a minimum' information.
