Adding inline images to Hughesnet email

I didn't think this merited being in the Tech help area, so I'm placing it here.

 

Is there a way to add inline images to an email using the Hughesnet email account?   I don't see an icon on the ribbon to do this. 

 

 

With other types of Web mail software, you just move the image into the body of the email and it sticks, but I tried this with Hughesnet email and it didn't work.

 

Not a big deal at all, just wondering if anyone knows how to do this or if it's even possible.

    I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but after starting a new message, when you click Add Attachment, then check "Show images in message body", then choose the image and attach it, it attaches in the message body, as shown in the third picture, which is just a small snip of the Community page.  I sent it to my MSN email and it came through just fine.  

     

    Edit:  Though it clearly says "Tip: drag and drop files from your desktop to add attachments to this message", I couldn't get that to work.  Then again, I didn't try anything other than JPG pictures.  I didn't try a PDF or anything else.

        Nope. I read the entire thread.  My post provides a way to add an image to the message body, which I believe is what maratsade is trying to do.

      GabeU,

       

      My "Add attachment" utility looks different:

       

       

       

      I don't have an option to add images inline.

        Wow, that's just plain odd.  The only way I can mimic the screen you get, as in not having the option to "Show Images In Message Body", is to set the "Composing" preference to Text instead of HTML, regardless of whether the General preference is Ajax or HTML.  Normally, I have preferences set to their default settings, which is Ajax under General and HTML under Composing.  It's odd that, even with yours set the same way, you're seeing what you're seeing.  Something's definitely goofy.  

         

        I certainly hope someone can figure out what's going on. 

         

        Not that this will necessarily make any difference, but what Operating System and Browser are you using?
