How do you attach an image to a PM?

I have no problems doing it in a post but in PM I don't see manage attachments or the paper clip icon.

You can't attach anything to a PM. You can embed a photo hosted elsewhere, but not an attachment.

I meant imbed. SO it has to be hosted elsewhere? Hmmm. I wonder why you can do it in a post without it being hosted somewhere but not an email.

PMs don't work the same as posts. Hence the difference in the two.
