In KMAIL 1.9 for TDE, why can't I insert an image inside of my email?
There is NO option to insert the image inside of the email. Some people might not like clicking on attachments and would rather you paste them directly into the body of the email, but with KMAIL 1.9, I noticed that we can't do that, the only option we have is to attach them???

I don't think you can call this a "bug". I don't remember kmail (KDE 3/TDE) ever inserting images in the mail (at least in text mode, and I never use html). So this seems to me to simply be a missing "feature".
Wether this feature is wanted, I don't know.

Unless there's an option to send HTML email (highly undesirable to most people here), you can't embed images into the email body. Normal plain-text email is just that: text.

Hi E,
I didn't mean send a message HTML to the list, but I was trying to show my email host that my billing was off, and I was going to insert a screenshot of my billing screen into my email and I found out there's no EDIT > INSERT > Insert Image into the body of the email option.
I believe, I am using TDE KMAIL as it came when I first sat TDE up, I see at the very top of my screen it says ANY, STANDARD, ARIAL, 13, A picture of what looks like an eraser, a picture of a painting board where you put your colors on and run your brush through the colors, then tab them onto your easel.
And finally, your paragraph alignment buttons: left, center, right.

This is only possible in HTML mode, but I am afraid KMail 1.9 is not so mature, besides that the html engine is outdated.

You can drag&drop an image from Konqueror to KMail New Email and it would ask you if you would like to attach or paste the path. I use attach and as "Thierry de Coulon via tde-users" said, it is rather a missing feature and I also do not use HTML mode. HTML looks nice, but it bloats the mail and it was not designed for HTML, but HTML is also OK. On some occasions I use Thunderbird or Roundcube, as I have the mail boxes on a server.
In my opinion it would not be too difficult to implement, but I doubt someone has the time to do it. If you wish, you could create a feature request.

HTML email also allows people to embed malware, etc. into emails, which is why Kmail does its best to discourage the HTML "feature."
