Re: Adding inline images to Hughesnet email - Page 2 - Hughesnet Community

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.

@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?

@GabeU, I'm using Windows 10 -- I had tried Firefox and Chrome and it was the same thing. Then I tried Edge, and I was able to see the option "show images" in message body." I couldn't see that option in Firefox or Chrome. So I reinstalled Firefox, and now the option shows.

Thanks to all for your help, and @Liz, it's working now on Firefox and it was likely a browser issue.

That's interesting. Edge was the one I didn't try, but it was there for me in Chrome, which is my normal browser, and Firefox. Maybe your original install of Firefox was infested with Gremlins, those pesky little buggers! 😛

Glad it's working for you now. 🙂

Gremlins hide out E V E R Y W H E R E. There's probably even one looking at you right now. 😛

This was stuck to the old Firefox I uninstalled:

Ajax,- Compose option "Text"

@maratsade And YET... another way to not send inline images..

Makes sense after you think about it.. Composing in "text" means NO images. And no smileys 😞
