So I just did it. I got a bit of extra crap, but it worked pretty well.
Click on your photo in flickr. At the lower right of it, you will see some icons. Choose the one that is a little curvy arrow. That should give you choices of ways to link = HTML, Link, or BBCode. I chose the BBCode and simply copy and pasted that whole thing into the body of my message.

Route I go is "view all sizes" then select the resolution I want. Then right click on the image and copy the image URL. Then just add it to the image tool in the reply box.

No extra bits to fumble around with.

testing - this one done the way I described above but I scrubbed the extra bs out of pasted info from flickr.

I got it. The above copy and paste worked. I was trying to upload it into the insert image icon. Thanks.
