My wife wants to know how to attach pictures that she has in our computer to
an email. We have a Dell 530 with Windows home vista, and yahoo is our
homepage.

How you do that depends on your email client. What are you using?

In mine I have a paper clip icon in the bar at the top. That is for
attaching files to my emails. In MSN Premium I have a Share Photos icon in
the top row. It varies. Tell us what you are using.

We need some help here.... What e-mail program? Windows Mail? Thunderbird?
Office Outlook? Something else?

Select the photo, right-click it, and select "Send to email contact" or
the like. Every email client has the same type of context (right-click)
menu item, but the wording might be slightly different.

Your email client will open a "composition" window that you can use to
write an email message to your recipient. The photo will already be
"attached" to your message.

When you open the compose section in yahoo mail, there is an attach paperclip
right beside the send button!!!
Click on that, and browse for what you want to attach to send!

If you use Yahoo for mail, that is done via your browser - Internet
Explorer, Firefox, etc.
Visit http://MAIL.YAHOO.COM. Attachments can be sent as described by
others who have responded here.

If instead you are attempting to send mail with an e-mail client -
Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird,
etc. - then you must configure that mail client for your internet
provider's (ISP) POP/SMTP mail server. This has nothing to do with
Yahoo or the fact that you use Yahoo.com as your home page.

Read your internet provider's mail HELP files, or get in touch with them
by phone or e-mail. They will provide the correct server addresses/names.

That done, you will be able to send mail and attachments via these
e-mail clients.

I have a new Dell computer with Windows Vista Home Premium, When attempting
to send pictures with Windows mail I receive the message that some pictures
may be lost and the recipients do not receive the photos. After unchecking
the security setting to "Block images", I still could not send images in
emails. Perplexed by this problem I tried downloading Outlook 2007 to see if
that would work. While I didn't receive the message that pictures would be
lost, I did receive numerous emails back that none of the pictures I sent
were viewable. Do I simply need to go back to the user friendly XP to
resolve this problem or can Vista work?

It is likely that something is not configured correctly as I and others
have no problem sending images via WLM. The SECURITY tab|block images
options apply to incoming mail, not to mail that you send.

Are you attempting to ATTACH images? Please describe the steps that you
take.
Have you spoken with your ISP's tech support folks, to see if they might
have a clue?

With my old faithful XP and Outlook, I could copy and paste pictures from an
incoming email to a new email that I am sending, or simply forward emails
with pictures. Now I can do neither. I have not changed ISP nor have I
changed any settings other than to get Vista and Windows email (and now
Outlook 07) to work per the previous note.

You cannot paste a picture into Windows Mail. You have to use the Insert
Picture, or Insert File Attachment.
Your anti-spam or anti-spyware programs may be blocking the forwards.

The newer Windows Live Mail will let you paste a photo, but it will
automatically resize it. If you want to send the full-size file, you need
to attach it.

Hi.DougieD. Most Likely that your e-mail with pictures attachment was
"too large" in size. Any e-mail larger than 5MB will have problem
reaching destination.What you need to do is "resize" your pictures
attachment : -
1.) right click the pictures
2.) choose Send To
3.) choose Mail Recipient
4.) an "attach files" window will appear, choose Medium 1024x768,
then click Attach
5.) you know the rest.
Please let me know if this works . Thank you.
