Hi guys, im trying to embed images in my email however not as an ATTACHMENT.

I have googled to try and find the solution but its still not working.

Firstly i have changed my yahoo mail options to compose it into colour and graphic mode. Not plain text anymore.

Secondly i used tinypic to upload my pictures.

When i copy this upload into my yahoo mail it just comes up as:

http:tinypic.com678723 etc.....

and not an image.

Can somebody help with the solution please.

Thanks.

    In order to embed a picture in the body of a yahoo email your photos needs to be web based on a site like:-


    http://photobucket.com/





    Then you can right click and copy the picture from the web site and paste onto the body of your email or your signature. This method will not work using the Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome browsers.

    Have not used Yahoo mail personally but I usually copy photo address from properties,highlight where to be placed then use insert photo and paste address.Try it,might work.

    Googled this > As far as I've been able to see, it's not possible to create an email with embedded images in Yahoo Mail.

    Here's the weird part though: Yahoo Mail can obviously handle embedded images, because I get emails with them all the time. Also, if you forward an email containing an embedded image, the image will still be embedded rather than attached. So obviously Yahoo Mail is capable of handling such images, but for some reason it seems to be impossible to actually create one from scratch.

    The only way I know to do it is to create an email through a standard non-web-based email client such as the one provided to you by your ISP. Send the email to your Yahoo Mail account, then forward it (editing it if you wish) to the intended recipients. It works, but what a pain! It would be nice if Yahoo Mail would provide a native way to create emails with embedded images. Since their email system can clearly handle such email, it should just be a matter of creating an interface to create such an email.<
