How do you put a picture from your computer's files into an email?

I know, the simple answer is cut/copy and paste but this doesn't work for me. I've tried it on my gmail and yahoo email accounts and neither worked.

I'm trying to get a picture from "MY PICTURES" on my PC and and place it into the body of an email, yknow, below the text. I've tried to cut and paste from "MY PICTURES", I've tried changing the format of the picture from JPEG to GIF, TIFF, PNG and none work.

I've SORT OF done it before by copy/pasting from my myspace pictre album but it always brought the email recipient to my myspace page. But that doesn't seem professional at all.

I've even tried to drag it from "PAINT" (PC) to my email...feeling like I was back in middle school playing with clip art knowing it wasn't going to work...it didn't.

Do I need to create a photo album somewhere on the web to copy and paste pictures to my email from? If so can you suggest a good one (*one that won't take my email recipient to my album much like my myspace method did)

I know there's a way, I've seen pictures in the bodies of emails (not attached) a ton of times. How do you foolks do it?

    Hello there

    You are going right but when you copy image on your local disk it can't be pasted in message as it is not on the internet also it is not possible to locate it to email or message receiver.

    So, I will recommand you to use any image hosting site for posting image on internet then simply select it, copy and paste it in your message body.

    DONE!

    Hope this will work for you.

    Regards and Best Wishes!
