There are some who are asking on how to insert image on the body of the email itself. Some of them use attachment instead. In making and sending ads through email, this feature is very important. So for the sake of those who do not know yet, I want to show you in very simple ways on how to make this possible.
Let me start with gmail. This feature or add-on is called an Image Handler. This is the Image Handler icon in gmail:

What about in yahoomail? Here's the truth, I tried so hard to find out how to add Image Handler in yahoomail Rich Text Editor but unfortunately, according to some from what I've read, this is not yet possible. But inserting images in the body of the yahoomail can still be possible in a very limited way. We can do that by drag and drop. But the images to be inserted must be in the net. Meaning you cannot drag and drop an image viewed in a Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, for example.
So here's an example:
Open two windows: one for yahoomail and one for the site where the image is. In this example I used one of the image in my homepage.
