The picture that you are trying to paste has to be in an onlineserver somewhere in order for cut and paste to work . It probably wont show, if you received it through email . Try loading it to one of the free online albums (yahoo, hi5.com shutterfly) then copy and paste it or find its online source and copy it from there.
Thanks for the advice. I tried your 'trick', but it failed. May be I didnt try harder. Anyway, I gat these pic in the mail, so may be thats why it didnt work. I wish I could come in person for your assistant, but for the obvious reasons I cant. Tiyamba kudziwana. Thank you though.
