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.
How odd! @Amanda, @Liz, any way I could get the same version of the app?

Odd indeed............. After digging I noticed 2 versions of clients in Preferences
Ajax................. Has no photo option
Standard HTML...........Has has the additional attachment options
For what its worth........ someone maybe should see if EITHER version puts the Photo inline..
That was the original post right?
I saw that and tried it, and that only lets me add an image by providing a URL. I don't see a way to upload an image from my files..... Maybe there just isn't a way.
Geezzz....... @maratsade I didnt notice that.
So. ya gotta be running an FTP server at home to insert an image from home. 
Does a cloud have a URL? I have a bunch a images in some clouds up there ..... somewhere....
How bout the images that we upload to our user accounts here in the community?

Your image Looks exactly like the is the HTML version.
Perhaps you should try "save" and then re-start your browser.
I 've switched back and forth so many times, I think mine is fowled up now...
I cant find that check box either.

@maratsade I'm sorry you haven't found the right combination yet,,,, But let's slow down a bit, because HughesNet Gen5 speed is not so good when Uploading yet........... It screams on downloads......... But remember to give a little slack when entering Data. I hit "enter" way too fast MANY times myself.
OK, I have two browsers running now looking HughesNet WebMail, 1; Ajax (advanced), 2; Standard HTML
They are visually different.
This is when you are using AJAX
This is IT when running ajax
There is NO "social Tab" and
There are more Pref's in HTML a whole row of tabs
We are NOT in AJAX. I have to redact my name at top.
In HTML there is NO spell checker
IF YOU are here......... clic on "Add Attachment" to see if the inline image check box is visable
Sorry That there are so Many images in this post.
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.
Hi @GabeU
Ahaaa. I see you are using the Ajax Client.
We're just havin fun here. See even YOU jumped into this thread without reading the first three posts.
Gotcha!!

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.

Yes! It works! I tested it by sending to a Windows live Mail POP account.
I must point out that the check box to "show image in message body"
is not available in the standard HTML client (login option)
Works in AJAX
Yes, your post does provide a way to do exactly what I wanted to do, @GabeU, and it also shows something's wrong with my account, because my account looks different and I can't find any way to add images inline, which is what I wanted to do. Which adds evidence to the theory that the satellite doesn't like me. LOL

Hi maratsade,
Ha, I just had to completely edit my post. I was able to reproduce your attachment screen sans option to add inline pics. Can you please ensure that you're composing as HTML as opposed to text? When I switched between Ajax and HTML in the general preferences, that made no difference in the attachment window. I only saw the inline pic option disappear when I switched compose as HTML to compose as text.
@Liz, I can switch between Ajax and HTML just fine.
Under Ajax, I do not have an option to add an image at all. I can only add attachments; nothing inline. ETA: I don't see the "show images in the message body" option in the attchments dialog, but I will check again later and report back.
Under HTML, I can add images, but this is the dialog I get when I click the image icon:
Under Composing, in Preferences, my setting has always been HTML.
