How can I copy an image in my email?

• I want to put a picture in the body of my email message. How do I do that?

• Answer:

  You can insert an image/picture into the body of a mail if you have the mail set as 'Rich Text' or 'html' - (your mail says 'Plain Text' on the top right). Highlight and Copy the image from a web page, and Paste directly into the body of the mail. (Right-click and select.) This only works for images from the web, not files from your computer, so you would need a copy from Facebook, other web mail mails, or uploaded to accounts with Facebook, Flickr (a Yahoo service), Photobucket, Snapfish or any of the many other photo-sharing web sites. (not Picasa) Images stored only on your computer must be sent as attachments. In order to get it to display within the message text, you have to copy and paste the image from a web server. If you don't already have the image on a web server, you can use a free image hosting site. Once you know how to do it, it's a snap to add an image to a Yahoo email. E-HOW: Insert Images/Pictures in Mail - Instructions: 1. The first thing to do before you can add an image to a Yahoo email is to upload the image to a web server if it does not already exist on one. Do a Google search for "free image hosting" and choose one that meets your needs. (not Picasa, but Photobucket, etc) 2. Make sure to use rich text formatting in Yahoo mail. Otherwise you won't be able to get it to display properly. Most likely your account is set to use rich text automatically. When you click on the "Compose" button to start a new message, there is underlined text below the subject box and next to the "Attach files" button. This just toggles the setting between rich text and plain text. If it says "Plain Text," then it is already set to rich text and clicking on "Plain Text" will toggle it to plain text. If it says "Rich Text," then click on it to set it to use rich text. 3. Go to the web page containing the image. Highlight the image with your cursor so that the image is shaded. Copy and paste it directly into the body of the email where you want the image to be seen. It will display the image itself in the email you are sending. If it displays only the URL, it didn't work and you should try it again. Make sure to highlight only the image itself and copy and paste it with your keyboard commands. Tips & Warnings: If this technique doesn't work, you can copy the URL where the image resides and paste that into the article. Yahoo mail also allows previewing of attached images without downloading them.
