Connect a VHS player to a Digital Camera via an S-video connection  
record relevant material from VHS to DV, it is now digitised. DV  
camera via Firewire connection capture too a NLE program, WinXP - 
moviemaker, OS X - iMovie, Linux - Cinelerra or Kino for something  
simple.  Their is of course other professional versions, but I have  
given what is installed on a default install of OS.

Output to whatever format you desire being email some mpeg4 format I  
would suspect. If on a Mac look at H-264 that is of course other end  
has something to view this with as with any format make sure intended  
audience has access.
