It could be that the picture is larger than your or the recipient's email server allows or more likely the recipient's email security blocks pictures to minimize threats.

Since there doesn't seem to be any one sure way that will work for everyone, why not just create a Photobucket album (or someplace similar) and send the URL of it. I know some folks I send URLS to, find the links are not clickable. I've also been told that they were not able to copy and paste the URL either. One friend just totally doesn't know how to copy and paste and doesn't seem to want to learn...says it just makes her 'nervous' to try. I've just given up on sharing much via emails with those who are so computer challenged. Oh...the one who said she wasn't able to copy and paste a URL I sent, was a link to an item on Amazon. I'm thinking she just didn't know how to do it. Sue

The one downfall with this method is if you are sending them to a person with dial up internet. It will take FOREVER for those pictures to come in and they will be HUGE. If you go into MY PICTURES or where ever you have your pictures stored and right click on the picture and select SEND TO ->eMail Recipient -> Make my pictures smaller.... It will then open up Outlook Express, reduce the file size of the pictures, and attach them to the email. You can select mulitple pictures by holding down the CONTROL key while selecting them. You will not see the pictures while you are typing the email, but you will see the file names in the attachment line. The recipient will have the pictures in the body of the email. As a dial up user - I thank those who take the time to reduce the file size!!!!! You can also download a free Windows Power Toy to reduce the file size, then attach the "smaller" picture to the email. (Windows XP) If someone sends me one picture that has not been reduced it can take 5 to 10 minutes. If they have attached mulitple ones it can take up to 45 minutes or it will time out and I have a clogged up mailbox. By not reducing the file size you also get the HUGE picture that you have to scroll back and forth to see in the email anyway. As with pretty much anything I post, no one ever reads/replys - but this is my .02 for today :) Check out the link for "image resizer" from Microsoft - Windows Power Toys.
