I am trying to insert a picture into my mail, not as an attachment. Anyone
know a way?
Thanks,

I am trying to insert a picture into my mail, not as an attachment.

Inserting an image into a mail only works if one uses the Rich-Text
(HTML) format (which is not the best way of doing mail, IMHO). Normally
an attachment should do.

But it's easy enough:
- in the mail editor place the cursor at the position where you want to
have the picture;
- from the Menu select "Insert | Picture" and then navigate to the place
where the image file is stored.

Once the image is inserted, right-click on the image and "play" with the
properties.

Create Mail > click on the empty compose area >Menu bar, click Insert ( you
can see now all options inside are active ) > click Picture... , make your
selection and click Open.

You can't paste an image into Windows Mail.
You have to use an attachment.

Right!

Wrong!
One can *insert* images in messages with Rich-Text (HTML) format.
Pls see my previous posting in this thread.

How stupid I feel. I am so used to using Cut and Paste, I didn't even see
"Insert" on the toolbar. That was the way to place a picture. Hopefully this
help someone else.
Thanks for all your help

You could do it with stationery, or with a signature.

This tutorial will show you how to create a file-based signature...
