This is a limitation of the FCKEditor used inside ELOG, and actually of the whole browser concept under Windows.
There are some extensions to Firefox which let your paste an image as an attachment, but none for doing this right
into the text body. For some discussion about this have a look at
http://forums.developer.mindtouch.com/showthread.php?t=188
for example. |

Hmmm. Well, does that mean that it is easier under Linux? I have to confess I couldn't figure that out either. But
I'd be delighted to have Yet Another Reason to tell the users that "it works under Linux, maybe you should switch...." |

I'm not sure, but I doubt that it would work under Linux. It's a general security issue: If your browser has free access to
your clipboard, then what happens if you for example copy-and-paste a password in some application, then forget your password
in the clipboard, then you surf to a malicious website, and a script on that site grabs your clipboard contents? This would
be a severe security hole on ANY operating system. |

Hi there,
In a linux installation straight out of the box, I can cut-and-paste text from the mailer program (a stand-alone one called
XCmail), from an xterm or similar into elog with no trouble. I've not tried an image, I just attach them as I use plain encoding.
Don't know how it would work if it were on a properly secure linux box. |

No, this is not possible directly. You would have to make a new reply, and manually fill in the contents from the original reply. It is however possible by directly tampering the ELOG files, but that should be done only by experienced users. |

Kind of what I thought but needed to ask. I think I'll leave things as they are. Thanks! |

I added that functionality into the intermediate release 2.6.1-4 which you can download from the ELOG site. |
