Would anyone please help how I can fix this problem? Thank you for your help!
 
Leopard, Mail & iPhoto 4 incompatibility

I found the answer to my question.

Error message:
Mail got an error: Can't get paragraph 8 of content of outgoing message id8967824. Invalid index.

Yes, this is a minor incompatibility between iPhoto 4 and Leopard that has been reported several times here.

To work around it, don't try to email directly from iPhoto — just export the pictures from iPhoto to the desktop, and then drag them into an email message to attach them to it before sending. After sending, you can trash the exported copies of the pictures.

If you're using 10.5 you can access the photo library from the Photo Browser button in the Mail Message window too.
