Just checked, it’s there on Firefox on Windows, too. Also, Windows itself has a “Send To…” item on the right click menu for images, and one of the options in the submenu below that is “Mail Recipient”. (Chrome has the possibly-even-more-useless “Generate QR code for this image” but I don’t see an “e-mail this image” option in Chrome on Windows.)
