How do you put a photo or image in the body of an email rather than a attachment?

You can add an image to your email and/or signature by following the steps below:

Note:

1. The image must be on the web and cannot be on your computer. You may not be allowed to copy some web images due to HTML or copyright restrictions on the page.

2. If your signature is set to "Plain text", then change it to "Rich Text" by clicking on the Rich Text link.

In the Mail body,

1. First locate the image you want to display. (** on any web page! **)

2. Right-click your mouse on the highlighted image and select Copy from the menu, or Ctrl + C.

3. Log into your Yahoo! Mail account. (or have it open in another tab.)

4. In A New Mail, click where you would like the image. Paste your copied image by right-clicking and choosing Paste or by pressing Ctrl + V.

In the Signature,

1. First locate the image you want to display on your signature. (** on a web page! **)

2. Right-click your mouse on the highlighted image and select Copy from the menu, or Ctrl + C.

3. Log into your Yahoo! Mail account.

4. Click the Options menu in the upper-left corner, and select Mail Options from the pull-down list. Select Signature from the panel on the left.

5. If your signature is set to "Plain text", then change it to "Rich Text" by clicking on the Rich Text link.

6. Select 'Show a signature on all outgoing messages'. Click where you would like the image. Paste your copied image by right-clicking and choosing Paste or by pressing Ctrl + V.

7. Click on Save Changes at the top of the page.

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. Here are a few http://www.flickr.com/http://photobucket.com/ http://www.shutterfly.com/ http://www.picturepush.com/

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.

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.
