Saving graphics and embedding into emails

Saving graphics and embedding into emails.
These directions are for using Windows XP; works the same in Vista and for Outlook Express.

This is not hard, it just takes a little practice playing around with it!

You must first save a picture to a file so, you can later retrieve it to be able to embed it into an email. You must be set for Rich Text (html) to be able to send graphics (Plain Text won't work).

To save a picture, put the cursor on the picture and right click, then click Save Picture As. A Save Picture screen comes up, you will see Save in: My Pictures is normally there. Where it says File Name: delete what's in the box (it's usually a bunch of numbers) then type in ..a name (or whatever you want to name it), then click save. Now you have a saved a picture! ta-da!

To embed a picture into a new email .. click on Create Email ... drop down to the message body ... go up to top row, starting with File ... left click on Insert and on drop down menu, left click on picture ... Pictures file comes up ... left click Browse ... My Pictures file comes up with the picture/pictures you saved ... you can scroll down through your pictures and click on the picture you want to appear in your email ... box comes up, left click OK ... this embeds the picture into your email.
