    How do I insert an embedded image in yahoo email using an image from my computer?
    Community Answer
    Short answer: Copy and Paste. Long answer: Compose an e-mail in Yahoo. Leave the cursor where you want to embed the image. Now use your favorite application find the image that you want to embed. On the image file (or icon) right-click to bring up the pop-up menu and click 'Copy.' Go back to Yahoo mail and hold Ctrl and press 'V' to paste the picture into the email. If you Right-Click/Menu/Paste, the paste function is grayed out. Ctrl-V works.
