gmailblog.blogspot.com — Well, it's about time. You no longer have to use workarounds to put images into your messages or attach images when you really want to inline them. Just turn on "Inserting images" from the Labs tab under Settings, and you'll see a new toolbar icon like this:

  • AlyxVance, on 04/12/2009, -8/+75about fricking time!

    And the guy above me is retarded.

    EDIT: The guy below me is also retarded.
  • rolf, on 04/12/2009, -1/+40From the looks of it, anything can be embedded in goatse with ease.
  • adeelarshad82, on 04/12/2009, -1/+29hmm didn't even know it wasn't there. so i guess i didn't miss it much
  • 2of8, on 04/12/2009, -3/+27This is the Copy&Paste of the iPhone: a basic feature that should have been included from the very beginning, but wasn't for unknown reasons.
  • DirtPile, on 04/12/2009, -0/+22Now everyone can embed goatse with ease.
  • inactive, on 04/12/2009, -10/+29insert Rickastley.gif
  • inactive, on 04/12/2009, -3/+15No-one cares about your ***** spammy sig.
  • inactive, on 04/12/2009, -3/+12WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    stop it.
  • qwer777, on 04/12/2009, -0/+8YAY! the only thing i consciously missed when i switched to using gmail is now fixed.
  • AdamWillis, on 04/12/2009, -1/+8well at least Google admits gmail isn't perfect with it's beta branding.
  • StriderNemesis, on 04/12/2009, -3/+10This is a great addition. Neither Yahoo! Mail nor Windows Live Hotmail allow you to do this.
  • inactive, on 04/12/2009, -0/+6You sir, are a gay fish.
  • scalded, on 04/12/2009, -0/+6Gmail did the internet a favor by not implementing receipts and HTML signatures.
  • nunofgs, on 04/12/2009, -0/+4I've had this request for quite a few years now: why can't I drag files into my browser?

    In Gmail's case, if it were an image, it would display it in the editor. If it was any other type of file, it would attach it to the e-mail.
  • cbruscato, on 04/12/2009, -5/+9Great feature...now get to work on HTML Signatures before I blow a gasket; and I thought the iPhone was a great piece of high-end tech that lacked basic functionality.
  • brid57, on 04/12/2009, -0/+4you suck for pointing it out.
  • inactive, on 04/12/2009, -0/+4Meh, doesn't seem like that big a deal considering the way Gmail displays attached images anyhoo.
  • Peko, on 04/12/2009, -5/+8I see what you put there
  • alpha88, on 04/12/2009, -0/+3What, so people can be encouraged to send glitter-text and bright pink 72pt comic sans names on every damn chain letter they send out? No thanks.

  • itsthehumidity, on 04/12/2009, -0/+3Thanks!
  • sockpuppets, on 04/12/2009, -2/+4The guy above me is retarded. The guy below me is super cool, though, and so is his mom.
  • Shiftyeyedgoat, on 04/12/2009, -0/+2That doesn't mean we should be any less happy to be getting both of those features now that they can be implemented.
  • UmarSajid, on 04/12/2009, -0/+2atlest its still fixin these things while its in beta!
  • MicrosoftBob, on 04/12/2009, -0/+2I would guess it had something to do with security.

    Regardless, it's nice to have the feature now.
  • DjArcadian, on 04/12/2009, -0/+2https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/775 ...

    Best program I've found for HTML Signatures in Gmail. Not perfect but better than nothing.
  • inactive, on 04/12/2009, -1/+2Because there is no standard for such functionality.
  • chadsmith729, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1Oh the /s wasn't there at the end, how ever would you know that it was SARCASM.
  • adjohnson916, on 04/12/2009, -2/+3The only reason they still have that label is because people like you can advertise their service by using it to deflect any and all criticism. Don't get me wrong I love Gmail, but you're just falling for that trap...
  • FKnight, on 04/12/2009, -1/+2Cue up everyone who thinks Google invented inserting images into email.
  • damntourists, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1you mean control+v?
  • KirbyMorph, on 04/13/2009, -0/+1Not as good as the autopilot auot response feature, but I'll take it.
  • SRSco, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1LOL @ Lotus Notes. I have to use it at work too and it is the bane of my existence.
  • chadsmith729, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1It's still in Beta. They are trying to work out the bugs.
  • sifeliz, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/219 ...
  • DentThat, on 04/12/2009, -0/+1How hard is it to implement an image feature?! Message boards have been doing it for years. And it's Google! They have the resources.
    Geez
  • yuutokun, on 04/12/2009, -1/+1Now I can send lemon party to all my friends and family! :D
  • ddcool1124, on 04/12/2009, -1/+1Now can they add real copy paste? Something email clients have had since 1997.
  • dawpa2000, on 04/12/2009, -1/+1Gmail is in beta. What did you expect?

    Did you forget that Gmail is not a final product?
  • inactive, on 04/12/2009, -1/+1how about it knows who to send it to just by how i type : Dear Joe

    or it can determine the anger level in my email by how hard i press the keyboard.

    i dono. too tired to think more. sleeeepy time
  • Barbarino, on 04/12/2009, -1/+1You have to use control C first, you can't right click and use copy... That's my point.
  • Slides, on 04/12/2009, -1/+2Finally! I wonder why it took so long.
  • WomensUnderwear, on 04/12/2009, -1/+1because gmail still likes yanking our chain for some reason. where is gdrive?
  • Dr3w, on 04/12/2009, -2/+2I've always seen a Gmail Labs thing and said "nice, think I'll add that in sometime." This is the first one I immediately opened a new tab for and updated immediately.
  • kingtobo, on 04/12/2009, -7/+5These comments suck.
  • sourabhg, on 04/12/2009, -2/+2that's helpful. Thank you gmail.
  • DentThat, on 04/12/2009, -3/+2Sometimes I hate Gmail

    Why did it take SO long for such a simple feature?

    And why do you have to go to Google Labs to enable it? Why isn't it default?
  • alpha88, on 04/12/2009, -3/+1Bacon.
  • Barbarino, on 04/12/2009, -3/+1I dunno, ctrl C works fine for me....

  • wontstoptalking, on 04/12/2009, -4/+2This would have been great 8 hours ago when I was sending in pictures of Kevin and Alex cube dolls on vacation in Mexico!
