Why should your email need to click at all? It is not a webpage. Either
attached more than one image per email and she can scroll via the good
old down-arrow key (or scroll wheels are nice) Or send here successive
emails with a picture in each and the good old 'n' key moves to the nest
email!

Your main problem is trying to use email as a webpage. Bad idea.
