After you start the email message, go to Insert, Picture. Browse to the picture, click ok.
Copy/paste works for me also but ONLY IF you have the format set to Rich Text (HTML).
I have the same problems as a few other post's regarding sending pictures with Outlook Ex. When I use Netscape to send a picture inline, all I have to do is cut and paste. With Microsoft, it gets to be a major production. Is there any way I can use the same procedure of cut and paste with Outlook Ex?
thanks,
