How Do I Embed An Image/photograph Into An Email Through Yahoo Or Hotmail?

It is easy to embed an image or a photograph in an e-mail which is sent from a Yahoo or a Hotmail account because it supports aspNetEmail. The advantage of aspNetEmail is that it automatically supports embedding images or photographs in an e-mail. Embedding images or photographs in an e-mail is not possible if you use System.Web.Mail.

Apart from embedding images from a URL, aspNetEmail also supports a wide variety of features such as built-in iCal and vCal Calendaring support, built-in vCard support, DataGrids (which can be added to the e-mail body of the users), E-mail UserControls, attachments (which can be created from Streams), attachments (which can be created from URL's), images (which can be embedded from HTML Strings), embedded images (which can be created from Byte Arrays), ASP.NET Exceptions ASP.NET Web Forms (which can be automatically processed), e-mail (which can be sent from the web.config Settings), DataTables (which can be MailMerged), etc.

The procedure to insert a photo or image into an email through yahoo or hotmail is same. In Yahoo and Hotmail emails we have an attachment facility to send a file or photograph over internet or our host. They have some limitation for the size of the file or photograph. The procedure to embed photograph or image is almost the same in both the mails. First login into yahoo or hotmail from were you want to send your photograph. After you login you get an option known as compose, wherein you will need to write the email, click on that option. Write your email ID in front of TO at the top and then write subject and then write your message in the blank space. After that when you click on the option attach it will open a new window, which will show you tab browse. Click on browse and select the image file in your hard drive or CD. Next you need to click on the option done, once clicked on the option you will return to the main page. Now click on send button, the email will be send to your host with your photograph attached to that email.

For hotmail you can just drag an image on a web page and drop it in hotmail.

One way to embed pictures in yahoo rather than adding an attachment is to use your signature option which allows some HTML. First your image has to be on the web try Flickr or photo bucket which are free and allow direct off site linking.1. Go to Mail Options2. Click "Signature"3. Click "View HTML Source"4. Insert your images website address,              example:  &lt;img src="http://www.photobucket.com/yourimagename.jpg"&gt;5. Unclick "View HTML Source"6. Your image should show it the box, if only text shows you may be missing a < or " in your HTML code which you inserted in step 4

I find this the most curious question. No one seems to have a real answer for this, and I have tried many suggestions' such as parking the photo at a photo storage site, pasting onto a mail composition page on IE, etc. Yet I keep receiving mail that contains embedded pics. How do they do it? And why did Yahoo disable this facility?
