Dumb question on posting threads

I was wandering if some one could help!

My IT skills aren't what they should be! I have seen some posts which include screenshoots or pictures within the main text as opposed to being an attachment. Could some kind sole explain to me how to do this?

Many thanks

Upload the image as attachement to the message.
Open the attachment in a new window => pic should be displayed all alone in browser window.
Note the URL of the pic.
Go back and edit your mail, add an image link which uses the URL you just noted down (or copied to the clipboard).
Now, if someone reads the message, the attached pic will automagically downloaded from the attachment.

Btw, try to keep the file size of the pic small (<150k) to make things easier for Shrapnels server and people with slow connections ...
