Google’s Gmail has always been widely appreciated for its many features, its user friendliness and for being extremely liberal with attachments in its mails. To its user’s delight, Gmail Labs have added yet another feature that allows you to attach images in the body of the messages.

This feature allows you to avoid attachments along with the mail. All you have to do to share an image is to insert images directly from your computer or insert image through URL’s. This simple tool can be used once the function is activated in the Gmail settings.

However, it is important to remember that for security reasons, Gmail does not display images that are URL based. The Gmail users will still have to click on “Display images below” to see the images.

Google Labs have other interesting features as well. The most popular features being the YouTube Previews and Gmail Offline. Gmail Offline allows you to use some of its features while you are offline. Rather a cool deal to make the users hooked on to Gmail even when they aren’t connected to the internet. Way to go Google Labs!
