When creating or replying to an email in Outlook 3013, is there a way to inline-insert an image without having to go to the trouble of "Pop Out" -> "INSERT" tab ->"Pictures" -> (find image in folder) -> "Insert" Button ?
If you drag and drop into the new message it attaches it as a file.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to insert instead of attach when drag-and-drop ing?
Ive tried the obvious like holding shift / ctrl / alt while dragging but no luck.

There is no such a keyboard shortcut to drag and drop image to an email, see Keyboard shortcuts for Outlook. The only keyboard shortcut can be used here is Alt, N, P (press one by one) which is used to open the insert picture dialogue box.
If you need to insert many pictures into the body of a message, you may consider trying the steps below as a workaround:
- Open Word, go to Insert > Pictures, select all the images you need in the email (you may press Ctrl when selecting multiple images), click OK to insert all the pictures into the Word document.
- Open Outlook, composing the email, switch to the Word document, copy(Ctrl+C) the image you want to insert, press Ctrl+V to paste it into the message body.
