Posted by Guest - Cant Paste Screenshots In Aol Email : Whenever I paste a photo into my aol email, the receiver never gets it.  Is this an aol email problem?

Guest Says: Are you using the aol webmail like http://mail.aol.com ?  Or do you mean you are using the installed aol desktop software or aol email on iphone or phone?

Guest Says: hi, I'm just using the aol webmail as you listed above

Guest Says: My guess is the receiver has some email that doesn't support it.  I send photos all the time by pasting in aol email, meaning I just CTRL-V to paste a screen shot and the receivers always get it.  You can just email it to yourself and you will see you should be able to view it no problem

Guest Says: I do screen capture all the time and just paste the images into my aol webmail. Meaning pasting it into the email and NOT attaching it as a JPEG image or antyhing like that. Whenever I'm emailing these to people that have aol email or yahoo email, they see the images just fine when they open the email. Whenever the receiver is on gmail, gmail users cannot receive the images. If the images are attached to the email and not pasted into the email, then everyone gets them just fine (but yeah I prefer just pasting into it).

Guest Says: thats interesting I was wondering why a gmail friend always says they dont see any images. I always paste them directly into the aol email (which is much, much easier, because if you have screen capture software its easy to grab part of an image and then ctrl-v paste into the aol email.  Everyone seems to see it except for the gmail account.

Guest Says: I dont think that an aol e-mail issue, I think its how some of the other email services show screeshots. You can always just do CTRL-V in aol e-mail and you will see whatever you copied pasted into your e-mail, however one person that uses his work e-mail can never see the images but others see it.  I think some e-mail providers just dont show images pasted so you have to attach the image in that case.

Jim Says: I have noticed that sometimes the copy paste in the email doesnt work and I have to close the browser and reopen it (I use Firefox on windows desktop) so sometimes it can be a browser issue. Gmail definitely doesnt display the pasted images though, and some people that use work emails (which no one should EVER use for personal email but I know a few that do) wont display it either. Others seem to receive and see it fine in their email though.
