Are you sure this is a Gmail feature and not a Firefox feature? I have been able to paste images into RTEs (rich text editors) since Firefox 3. If the image comes from the clipboard, Firefox will add the image data inline. It works in all RTEs I use - e.g. http://ckeditor.com/demo http://ckeditor.com/demo , http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/default/defaultcs.aspx http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/default... Since the src of the image is inline, you can save/send it as part of the HTML output of the editor - no attachments or separate upload is needed.

I can't test this now, but I remember trying it many times in Firefox, and every time I'd get a little icon that showed a little broken image. It was only after the Firefox 4 upgrade, that it started working (well in gmail's case, kind of working). Having looked into what gets sent, it is definitely a Firefox thing, but for me, it only started doing it with 4.0, so hence this post.

This is a browser feature. It wraps images with <img> tags just like it wraps email addresses in a <a href"mailto:"> link when copied. The text editor just renders this HTML.
