[X4U] Why do some images not go through on Apple Mail?

[John Dach]

For me, if I do a copy, I have to paste it into the "Add Hyperlink"  
section under Edit then OK it.  If I paste it directly into a Mail  
message, it pastes but it is not a clickable link.  If I type in a  
link, I have to "apple-X" it, paste it again into the "Add Hyperlink"  
under Edit and OK it.  I am using Mail Version 2.1.3 (753.1/753) OS  
10.3.11 build #8S2167.
