Inserting a picture into the text of a picture

Dear Jim,

I needed to go to sleep at 3am last night to rise for a 12 noon Christmas day dinner. So I am back now.

I have not been able to drag a picture into the text of an email message.

I mark the point of insert with the cursor, go to Insert menu, select the attach picture, and it ends up at the top of the email outside my message. When I try to drag the picture into the text area, a mat covers the text area instructing to insert it here. When I release it on the hotspot, the matted area goes blank and I receive a menu message "The following files couldn't be attached: "filename.jpg". Please try again later."

I seem to be doing everything correctly. I was able to do this some time in the past.

I am wondering if the problem has to do with a memory cache problem. Do I have too many 2000 blocked emails. Maybe a security problem not allowing the attachment?

Ray (:-)

I assume you're doing this is in Hotmail. I'm able to insert an image into email via copy and paste. see screenshot Trying to drag and drop brings up an option for onedrive. see screenshot
