To the source, it was a clipping from newspapers dot com. I normal copy my clippings directly from that site right onto my group post.

Steve -- Be careful doing that.

As stated earlier, copying an image from a web site generally puts its?URL on the clipboard, not the actual binary image. It may seem to work for awhile, because the recipient probably has web access, and it can continue to be fetched as needed....but if the image is ever moved or deleted at the source, it will magically disappear from your message, too.

In addition, if the image requires some subscription for access, it's likely that no one receiving your group post will see it at all...simply because they aren't logged into newspapers.com like you are. This could explain your failed-to-fetch-the-blob error message.

To confirm, go to Emailed Photos and check to see if the image you added actually appears there. If not, then it isn't resident in groups.io.

Maybe related to the iPad vs the windows laptop.

That could be, but generally speaking you're really rolling the dice by using cut-and-paste. The only robust way to embed an image via the GIO message editor is to first download it as a file, followed by uploading it with the Add Image dialog.
