pictures in emails...

[jimi c]

thank you to those who answered my last question. here's one for the techies. i know how to send a picture as an attachmentto an email, but how do you insert a picture in the body of an email (ie. in the middle of the text)? everytime i try to do it outlook tells me the the picture can not be found. any ideas?

To send it in the body, the email has to be sent as html (like this webpage) and the image itself ISN'T in the email, but a link to the image is. If you send an email with a 5MB image in it then the email itself will not be 5MB as the image is saved on a server online just like every other image/html page is that's used in webpages. Geddit? You're effectively sending a webpage, not just a simple email. To link to an image you'll either have to upload it and save it's full location, or note the location of an existing online image (although there are obvious copyright issues here!), e.g. http://freestockphotos.com/SCENERY1/AlpineRMNP.jpeg I'd have a look at an html tutorial as I'm sure I'm explaining this badly but the code you need to type to include this pic would be: <img src="http://freestockphotos.com/SCENERY1/AlpineRMNP.jpeg" width="576" height="386" alt="nice scenic picture, property of freeStockPhotos.com" /> I hope this works...

I find the easiest way to do this is to open your jpeg,press crtl & the prt Scr sys rq buttons,then go to your email and the press crtl & V, and you jpeg should now appear as part of the email instead of an attatchment.I have just tried it and it worked fine.
