1. Launch your email client or open a Web-based email service like Yahoo Mail or Gmail. Begin writing a new email message.
2. Locate the photo you want to embed in the message. This can be an image file on your computer or a photo on a website.
3. Move the window containing the image towards the side of the screen so you can see the image as well as the email message you are composing. You may need to reposition the message window as well.
4. Click the image and hold down the mouse. Drag the image to the place in the email message where you want it to appear. Release the mouse button.
