Inline images vs. attachments
The email composer has two ways to add files:
🏞️ Image button (in the toolbar) → inserts a picture inline, visible in the body of the email.
📎 Add Attachment button → adds a file as an attachment at the bottom of the email. It won't appear embedded in the content.
You can add an inline image by using the Image button → Browse Server, or by dragging an image straight into the body, or pasting one from your clipboard. Whichever way you add it, TidyHQ uploads the image to Storage automatically, so it displays reliably for every recipient.
Add an inline Image
Click on the Image button in the editing toolbar to open the Image menu.
Click on Browse Server in the Image Properties dialog to get a popup window of the Storage app. When you've found the right image, just click on its name to select it (the URL will be added in Image Properties). You can also upload a new file to Storage before selecting it.
You're not limited to just linking from your Storage; any URL can work. But please be careful about where you link if you don't control the other end!
In the Image Properties menu you can also set the alternative text, width & height, border width (solid black), vertical & horizontal spacing, and alignment.
Hint: Don't try to resize a huge image (like a photo) into your email. The recipient will have to download the whole large image when they receive the message (maybe on their mobile/cell phone). Also, for recipients that may have images turned off, you can add "Alternative Text" so they'll know what the image represented.
Images give the email a bit of interest, but should be used sparingly and not for important text (especially if there is not Alternative Text).
Your text and image may now look something like this:
Dragging or pasting an image directly
You don't have to go through Browse Server every time. If you drag an image file into the body of the email, or paste one you've copied to your clipboard, TidyHQ automatically uploads it to Storage and inserts it as a proper hosted image - the same as if you'd selected it via Browse Server.
This means the image will display correctly for every recipient, including in Gmail, Outlook, and on mobile mail apps.
