First set the following format options:

1.  Tools | Options | Sending mail, uncheck "Send attachments as
    separate messages" and "Enable text file autodetection when
    sending attachments". Check "Don't add 'attachment
    information' sections to Multipart messages", and "Generate
    multipart/alternative versions of richtext messages"  

2.  Tools | Options | Messages and replies check "Use MIME
    features"

3.  Tools | Options | Message formatting uncheck everything under
    "Formatting and use of styling in messages"

Now when you use the picture icon or the right click "Import picture file" the graphic will be inserted at your cursor location.  The picture will still be sent as an attachment but it will be shown in the body of the message of those e-mail clients that support inline graphics.  

Not all do and it looks like AOL cannot easily do inline graphics either.  I used to be able to do this but the current web-based AOL does not seem to work.

Works fine... but one issue:  I can't put text AFTER the image.  Only way I can do that is to put text in first, then click in the middle of it and then isert pix.  Is there a hot key, trick, or something to get past the image on the email screen?

The email editor is not a word processor, it does line by line text.  If the image is only one line like an icon [ip] you can type after it in the line.  If the graphic takes more then one line then you cannot wrap text around the graphic.
