2. Enter a title in the Subject box. Make sure that it represents what is in your thread.

3. Click your mouse in the Message box.

4. The icons will shift depending upon the size of your screen. Locate the plus sign (+).

5. A new window will open. Click on  Insert Local Files and select the picture from your computer.
