There's a trick to getting the picture into the message. You have to put the address of the actual picture, not the link to the picture, into the third box below the message text. For this picture it was

http://members.aol.com/WoodKayak/bowstr_1.jpg

Rather than

http://members.aol.com/WoodKayak/bow.index.html

Getting the address is a little tricky. With MSIE you put the mouse pointer on the picture, click the right mouse button, select "properties", highlight the address, right mouse button again, select copy, and then go paste it into the aforementioned box.
