Default Pics in pm's

Why can I only send URL links in pm's and no personal pics from my computer? Is this some sort of safety thing? Or do I need to change a setting or something?

It's for our protection that you cannot insert your personal photos into a PM. The alternatives would be to get the recipient's email address, or post the pictures on sites like Flickr and then link to them. Oh, and one more alternative, you could put them into an album here in the QB!
