Marie --
Probably let's separate the emailing part from the camera part. There's some totally cool and free software that Google makes, called Picasa, that is very easy to use and should make things like emailing pictures super-easy. It knows how to make picture that might be too big to email the right size and any of the other annoying details -- it's got a built in tool just for this. Get it at http://picasa.google.com/download/index.html
While all cameras have always come with the ability to switch between low, medium and high resolutions, there's hardly any reason these days to use anything but high resolution. Take the picture in high-res, and let Picasa size it for whatever you want. Who knows, maybe you'll love one of your pictures and want to get it printed as an 8x10 where you would want the high resolution.
So that was the inexpensive part!
It sounds like you want a reasonable and easy to use camera without paying a lot. The choices you made seem like they are right on: Nikon L4 http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/digital-cameras/nikon-coolpix-l4_reviews.html and Canon A430 http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-a430_reviews.html are both aimed at simple uses. Both are well rated, if somewhat boring cameras. You might look at the Kodak C533 (http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/digital-cameras/kodak-easyshare-c533_reviews.html) also, which is in the same price range. Kodak has focused on making cameras that real people can actually use, more so than Canon and probably Nikon.
Have a great vacation!
