Sending a picture in OE

I have Windows XP Home with SP3 and use Outlook Express for my emails.
The only way I can email a picture to someone is as an attachment and this
is to email the file from My Pictures folder or by dragging the picture
into my email. This then sends the picture as an attachment.

Using the "Insert" link in my email does not work for me. I get as far as
"Browse" to select my picture and then my OE crashes each time also
loosing any text in my message.
HTML formatting is turned on and also ticked in the mail sending format.
Including a picture as a "Background" from the Format link works OK.

I have two questions;
1 How can I get my Insert link to work and
2 Is it possible to send a picture not as an attachment but within my
email and separate from the text and how is this done?

Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main
Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity...

File | Identities | Add new identity

Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2)
import messages from the old identity into the new one, and then (3)
delete the old one (File | Identities | Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt
to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic
Compacting is taking place.

- Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional
protection:
