How to Add Pics in Gmail

Google's popular Gmail web-based email client has a variety of formatting options when composing email messages, but one option that isn't immediately available is inserting pictures into an email. Pictures you insert in email appear in the body of the email when the message recipient reads it, so they don't have to open a separate image file. Gmail has an experimental "Labs" feature you can enable that adds an "Insert Image" icon to the formatting bar for composing an email.
