Embed an Image into email body

Embed an image into the email body

If you want to send an image in an email, but actually showing up in the email itself, and not as an attachment, here is a simple way of doing just that. Try it out and see if it works for you. For this example we are using Photobucket

1. Open Photobucket and go to your picture album
2. Choose the image and then right hand click on the image you want, and choose View Image



3. This then should open a new browser window with just the image showing
Now here is where Keyboard Shortcuts come in useful (saves using the mouse)

4. Hold down Ctrl (that is down the bottom left of the keyboard) and at the same time click the letter A (The image in the new browser window should turn a shade of blue)
5. With that window still open now again hold the Ctrl and click the letter C
6. Switch back to your open email window
7. Now decide where the image is going to be by clicking on the email body so you have a flashing cursor line
8. Now hold down Ctrl and click the letter V

Your image should now appear in the email body
For this to work the image needs to be stored someplace online. The image can also be stored in any image host or online album like Picasa, Photobucket etc.

Keyboard Shortcuts:
Ctrl+A = Select
Ctrl+C = Copy
Ctrl+V = Paste
