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!

Fast and easy, isn't it?

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.

i've done it several times successfully.

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.

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

post your results below.

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 menu Edit/Select All or Ctrl-A to select the entire contents of album.html.

4. Use the menu Edit/Copy or Ctrl-C to copy the contents to the clipboard.

5. Click in the body of the new gmail email and use the menu Edit/Paste or Ctrl-V to paste the contents into the body of the new email.

Hope this helps

Jim

embedding images
How To Create Embed Image Mail In Gmail

There's a far easier way!

Go to settings.

Find the 'LABS' tab.

Scroll down the page until you see an item (bout 6 from bottom) with an icon that looks like a banana. Click enable images.

Go to bottom and save settings.

When you next compose an email, there is a small icon on the taskbar thats a little picture. Click on it, and you can either upload an image from your comp, or from t'interweb.

hope this helps. Its made my day very happy x

How To Create Embed Image Mail In Gmail
How To Create Embed Image Mail In Gmail

Hello all,

This topic is very important, especially considering the vast number of us using gmail of late.

The imageshack option is nice, but sometimes we may require to directly embed an image into a gmail email (instead of linking it).

Even though the gmail support says that embedding is not possible ... I have good news for you ... It is!

Here's how ...

Login to your gmail account
In you gmail window,there will be some buttons on the top-left corner. Click on Documents
A new window will pop-up, and Google docs will open. Here click Create New, and in the dropdown menu select Document.
This will open a blank document, quite similar to MsWord.You need to compose your email in here
To insert an image click Insert>Image. Select the button for "From this computer"Browse to its location and then click Insert.
Attach multiple images you like and type the text as you normally would.
Once you've finished composing, hit the Save button
Next click on the Share button, and select "Email as attachment..." option
Enter the email addresses of the recipients (I would suggest first Sending this email to your gmail account only first, and then Forwarding from there. This is because the layout changes a little when This document is converted into an email, and you can make the Adjustments from you gmail account while forwarding)
V. Important!: Select the button for "Paste the document itself into the email message."
Then click Send!

That's it!

Please feel free to drop in a word here if this method worked for you, to help let others know.

Namaste!

embedding photos in email/ and not able to see pictures in emails
How To Create Embed Image Mail In Gmail

Serverph

Hello. I tried to embed using your instructions. When I paste I just get a little icon. I sent it to myself but even when I click on the icon it won't show a picture.

I am having a problem with google in reagards to this situation. When I receive emails that have pictures or headings, most of the time they won't open when I open to read it. If I click on the icon sometimes ( rarely) it will open. The majority of the time it opens another window/tab to do it or takes me to the site of the sender to see what they sent me. It just started doing this lately. Have I made a setting somewhere? Have they added some kind of security?? It's is VERY annoying.
