How to screen grab and paste into Gmail?

[Mountain Goat]

I know I'm being dumb here, but using PC, Firefox 2 and/or IE6 can't Copy Paste (Ctl+V) a screen grab using either PrtSc or Screen Grab Pro (bit of freeware), into an email message.

Anyone got another way of sending screen grabs in an email? I don't want to use an attachment.

Thanks.

OK no techie and not even sure i know what you are talking about. But does it having anything to do with the plain text and the rich formatting. If i copy and paste into one of my emails i have to change the format to allow this.

Sorry if this has nothing to do with your question

Nessie, thanks

That's exactly what I was told to do by one or two passing techies, and was the first point of call - you're dead right.

But, no - it doesn't help! I can paste into Word and send as attachments, but that's clumsy for me, and worse for the recipient.

MG,

You don't say which e-mail system you are using.

Copy & Paste works seamlessly in Outlook but it can be a pain in things like G-Mail.

What's wrong with attachments anyway? I find them simple, straightforward and easy to use, both as a sender and as a receiver.

I receive plenty of screen grabs OK, so assume must be able to send. Yes, I'll have to use attachments I suppose, just a bit of a pain titivating them before I send.

I've tried it in G-Mail and it appears not to like it, not at all. Plain text? Yes. Images? No. Look out attachments, here we come.
