Thank you!!
There's more than one way to do this. You need to have an on-line album of photos and link to the photo there.

For instance, I use (free) Picasa to edit and manage photos on my PC. Then I can upload photos to the Picasa Web Albums.

I browse to a photo I want to use. This one, for example.

Then I right click the photo there, and select "Copy Image Location" (I use Firefox. Internet Explorer probably has a similar thing) Some web albums have a "link to this photo" which does the same thing, just copy and paste the link they show.

Here's the link I copied: http ://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_wc7ef8CMbxA/Sz_BmsvQFWI/AAAAAAAAC7M/BH4UK4QPcEw/s800/IMG_6770.JPG

At my BF reply I click the Insert Image button and paste the photo link in the popup box. It's easy.

Here's that photo:
