How can I paste a jpeg image in the body of an email?

more options

I am sending emails from Yahoo mail using the latest version of Firefox. I'd like to be able to paste an image in the body of the message. Firefox won't paste a copied image. The only hing I am able to do is send the image as an attachment. I know that images can be put in the body because I get many messages with images in the body.

It depends.

When you copy an image from a website in Firefox (right-click > Copy Image), Firefox stores the HTML code that website is using to display the image. Then when you paste into Yahoo mail, Yahoo uses that code to display the image in your message, by linking out to the source site.

However, if you copy the image from a source other than a web page, Yahoo mail (webmail interface) can't use this technique and although it sometimes seems to show the image in the post, when I send, I just get a strange "inline image" notation in its place.

If you access your Yahoo mail on a device in a dedicated mail client, then you usually would have more options because the mail program will encode the image into the message.
