GMail improves multiple attachment handling
As Google continues to add more features to Gmail, I've been waiting patiently for one tweak to solve an issue that has always been particularly annoying.
In the past, if you wanted to add more than one file attachment to a message, you had to click and browse repeatedly. At long last, Google has made it possible for us to make multiple selections. Make your choices, click open, and watch the progress indicators go to work as your files upload.
If you change your mind and need to remove a file or two, simply un-tick the corresponding checkbox prior to sending your message. The new uploader is Flash-based, so you'll need the plugin installed to make it work.

That's great! Now when are they going to add the ability to easily include inline picture attachments?

Still working fine here...Tried clearing your cache or using a different browser?

For me it doesn't work in Firefox 3.0.8, although I worked before my Vista-reinstall in the same browser (and I loved it). I've installed flash, in Settings it shows that it's on... and I have no problem in IE
Could somebody help me pls?

same issue here: feature was there and now is not working. I checked the feature inside the Lab and it is gone too.
