eHow: How to Embed a Picture in HTML for Email

“Exchanging digital messages via the Internet is an efficient way to communicate with others. However, plain text is oftentimes not enough to get the message across. Users can make their emails more appealing by embedding a picture into the email via HTML, as long as their email service provider allows them to switch the message composition window to HTML. Working with a provided HTML editor to insert an image is easier and recommended, but editing HTML (or HyperText Markup Language) allows for other formatting options as well. The technique to embed the image is the same as when you’re creating a simple HTML website.”
