| | Can't paste images/pictures in Windows Mail (Vista) I'm using Snag It which captures screen shots (or portions of screens). You can then specify which type of file to save the image as ... jpg, bmp, etc. I copy the image to the clipboard and when I go to paste into Windows mail, the paste option is greyed out. CTRL+V doesn't work. I paste into Word just fine. I try to trick it by putting some text around it in Word, select all then paste into Mail but I get the infamous Red X where the image should be. Yes, mail is set for HTML. Any ideas? Thanks |

| | Re: Can't paste images/pictures in Windows Mail (Vista) You can only paste text into a Windows Mail message. You can use the Insert Picture command or attach an image file.

Thanks that the image will be pasted correctly, if you try to paste it from conext menu option. But you may also need to select special option in your program like Paste Images to Clipboard in HTML format. Regards. |
