How do you place the image in the mail?
If you are trying to attach an image to an e-mail, most e-mail clients have a function for attaching files (often a button looking like a paperclip) click that or find the "attach file" command and search for your image (you will probably be faced with a dialog that offers you the opportunity to "Open" which is what you want to do even though you really want to "Attach" but that's the computer world for you...)Some, but not all, e-mail clients (the program used to send e-mail) will allow you to "paste" an image right into the mail alongside the text.
