Tips & Warnings
Make sure you're in rich formatting mode, or the Insert Image icon won't show up.
To protect from spammers, Gmail doesn't display images in messages by default. If you are sending this message to another Gmail user, she will have to click Display Images Below or Always Display Images From [Your Name] to see the pictures you embed.

This is really cool... you can embed your images inside you text content while writting email in gmail instead of attaching it as a attachment. Simple steps.. so nice...
