I want to insert a jpg file into the mail while composing the e mail and avoid sending it as an attachment. I've tried copy-paste, but it doesn't work. I tried to drag from another window, that doesn't work either. I managed to drag a jpg file from another browser (not Firefox), it showed at my end but did not transmit).

The question relates more to your email system than to Firefox.

As general comments

  • files and images are likely to be sent as attachments
  • there may be options as to how they display, hotmail for instance is able to display attatched images in firefox as a slideshow within the email
  • sending links rather than attached files is an alternative if the .jpeg is on the web
  • Hotmail, also allows whole Office Files to be inserted. (That includes word processor documents containing images)

If it is Hotmail and using windows XP you have tried

  • insert | Photos -> web images
    left clicking on a displayed image will insert it at the cursor position in the e-mail

Note Hotmail has its own help information, and a help forum {clickable link)

Thank you John99 for a prompt reply.

However, this hasn't helped me, may be I could not explain my self. I tried Hotmail as you have suggested, but it doesn't solve my problem. I would like to insert a jpg file from those saved on my hard disk into the e mail. I have learnt how to send jpg and other files as attachments and now I would like to learn how to insert them inside the e mail.

I assume that you are normally using Hotmail.

If so either insert the jpg as an attachment, Hotmail will then offer to display the pictures in a slideshow in the final email.

Or Make a WP document set out as you like and send that. I am not aware of any other easy method of inserting pictures within hotmail emails, other than as stated in my last post, but you may get a faster and more acurate reply from the Hotmail forum.
