embed images in body of email
 

I get emails from people that have pictures right in the body of the email, other times I have download an attachment. My question is using hotmail is there a way to put pictures directly in the body with text?

You can do it if you embed an image as HTML - but the image has to be resident on a server somewhere online.

In essence, you don't send the photo, you send the link to the photo, and their software uses their net connection to display the picture.

Ok, say I host image with imageshack, then what? I know zero about programing.

as far as I know it cannot be done with hotmail. You could use the following to link an image in your email:

but I don't think that hotmail will interpret that as html...it will just stay as text.
