Hi Wymoing,
I have a personal website through my internet provider. I upload my pictures there and then when I come here... I click on the yellow mountain that you see in the message window I then use the path to my picute location. Example:
http://home.comcast.net/~lesrox/photos.html
That has worked in attaching my pictures to messages. If you are still having problems...then I will PM you my home email and you can send it to me and I will upload it to my personal webpage, send you a copy of the path that you can copy paste into the message after clicking the mountain icon.
