Inline images with GMail

Sure, blogger has a handy little 'insert image' icon, but why don't I see that button in GMail?  Of course you can always insert an image with the link button, by using a URL that links to it, but that's assuming you have the image in question hosted online.

For uploading snapshots and other images from your local machine, you'll need to enable GoogleLabs 'Insert Image'.

1. In GMail, look to the upper right corner of the page and find this little gear (Options).  Click it, and choose 'Mail settings' as opposed to 'Mail Help'.
2. You'll be under the 'General' tab, which is cool, but check it out later.  Skip over to the 'Labs' tab and click that.
3. You can use the search bar, or your knowledge of the English alphabet.  Either way, you're looking for 'Inserting Images' by Kent T.  Click the 'Enable' button.
4. That's it!  There are really only 3 steps.  The 'insert images'  button will show up in between the 'insert emoticon' & 'link' buttons.
