Yes. Make sure your computer and the camera have Firewire/i.Link/IEEE1394 port/jack. One easily can then import the tape material to the computer, edit (with proper software), and send or post to web. Keep in mind that emailing video is a bandwidth hog. Full-quality video is about 12GB/hour, so one GB=5mins, which means that even a 30 second clip, at full quality, is ~80MB. So that means you'llhave to reduce the quality to a postage stamp, and keep it short. Even then, you're looking at 1-2MB emails, which won't please lingering dial-up users.
If you can, I'd post to a website and get people to download/stream to their computer.
Or just burn a bunch of short DVDs adn send them.
