It looks to me like you can't in gmail, if you could it would be in the rich formatting toolbar and would be insert an image. THere is an entry in their help here https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer....4261&topic=1516 however it doesn't appear to offer help like you want. Um if you mean make the images show up in gmail, (they don't by default) you can't make someone elses gmail show the images you sent, unless you send the images as an attachment, but then it won't be in the body of the email.

Google's help files state this:
QUOTE

Google Mail doesn't currently offer the ability to attach images inline, because we don't support HTML formatting.

Even when you use the full formatting options, you don't have any HTML options or anything like that, so you can only send mail in plain text, but you can receive messages with inline images.

Here's a way, which I haven't tried myself, but probably works if they say so:
QUOTE
First, get and install Flock. It's free. It's not version 1.0 yet, it has many bugs, but it is usable.

Second, set up a Flickr account. It's free. Post your image on Flickr, and enable it for public viewing.

Third, open a web browser window and go to your Gmail account. Click "Compose Mail" to start a new message. Type a few words on a few lines to start with.

Fourth, bring up Flock and click the feather-pen icon, as if you're entering a web log entry. If you don't have any weblog system set up yet, don't worry, you don't need one for this (click "cancel" if a dialog box asks you to log in to one). click the "topbar" icon, and choose "Flickr topbar". Enter your username in there, so it finds your image.

Now drag and drop that image into the body of your Flock web log entry area.

Lastly, select that image in the flock web log entry area, and drag-n-drop it into your Gmail window's message body! The image magically appears there!

Actually drag and drop, and copy, pasting of images does make it appear in the compose window, but when you send that mail to someone they'll not be able to view the image. Only you can view the image, you can store in the drafts and view it later, but the image cant be seen by the receiver.

it can be done as what D.BOY wants it. smile.gif i've done it several times successfully. tongue.gif

first thing to do is make your image available online. upload it somewhere, like http://www.imageshack.us for example. if you uploaded it in imageshack, get the direct link of the image and paste it on your browser.

here is a sample image i uploaded so you can test it yourself in the next steps: http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/1627/zi060813vo1.gif

once its loaded in your browser, drag your mouse across the image so the whole image gets selected or highlighted (it would turn dark to indicate that it is successfully highlighted/selected). don't miss that part.

then while it is selected/highlighted, right-click your mouse over it, then from the menu which appears, choose COPY.

go to your GMAIL account, then COMPOSE MAIL. use RICH FORMATTING instead of PLAIN TEXT. then press CTRL-V to paste the copied image in your message body. the image will then show and appear embedded. fill out the recipients of your email, then send away!

of course, your recipients should be online to be able to view the image (in GMAIL, they should choose to DISPLAY IMAGES BELOW when they receive your email with embedded image).

if you doubt it, test it first. smile.gif if you cant replicate what i've done PM me with your GMAIL address, and i'll send you an embedded image as proof myself biggrin.gif

post your results below. smile.gif btw, it will not appear as an attachment as it will directly access the online image from where you uploaded it when recipient views your email with embedded image.

To create a gmail email with embedded images you need to copy and paste them from another browser window, but to get them to appear in another browser window does not mean you have to upload them to the web. You can create and html file on you local hard drive and open that in your browser instead. I have create a simply batch file to automate this.





###Create Batch file (do once only)



1. Open notepad

to. Paste in the following



echo ^<html^> > album.html

echo ^<head^>^<title^>GMail album^</title^>^</head^> >> album.html

echo ^<body^> >> album.html

echo ^<br^>^<br^>^<br^>^<br^> >> album.html

for %%I in (*.jpg *.jpeg) do echo ^<img src="%%I"^>^<br^>^<br^>^<br^>^<br^> >> album.html

echo ^</body^> >> album.html

echo ^</html^> >> album.html



3. Save it as see:\windows\create-jpeg-album.bat





### Preparing Images (repeat for each different email)



1. Resize/copy all email images into an empty folder.

to. Open command prompt window in empty folder.

3. Type create-jpeg-album at prompt and hit enter.



A file called album.html should appear in this folder





### Creating the email (repeat for each email)



1. Compose a new rich text gmail email.

to. From windows explorer double click on album.html to open it in a new browser window.

3. Use the men
