It appears that on Fotki you need to hit "share photo" to get the correct url, then copy and paste that into the mail. You need to do this for each photograph you intend to share. But if you are going to share the entire collection of 85 shots, it's better to do it your way: simply give the path to your site - however, you'll get a better response anyway if you just share a few of your best and then put in the path to your gallery for those who want to see more.
Sorry to be a busybody.
