Is there a way to insert pictures and images within a message?

Thanks!

Currently not using the web interface. But you can do it with most email clients (look in the fastmail faq to see how to configure an email client such as Mozilla or Outlook Express to work with fastMail).
In the future it is planned that this will be possible with the web interface. This will happen when the "HTML composition" component will be finished.
You can attach pictures to email messages. Sometimes the recipient will see the pictures displayed when reading your email (it depends on the recipient's email software).

You should be able to send an email with a pic in if you create a html page, embed the pic and then send it as an attachment.

Have never tried it, but have been told it works

I think whether or not that method works will depend on how the person receiving the mail views it - so you might want to give it a go, but I wouldn't rely on it when writing to a potential employer
