[Rhodes22-list] ss picture e-mailing hang up continued

[john Belanger]

david,
  i'd really like to know the answer to that one. the default email program on my computer is outlook express. i use yahoo. i always have to punch the email link, which then opens an outlook express box, copy or cut the address out of the box, and paste it into the yahoo mail compose box. the dropdown menu selection box in control panel doesn't have yahoo as a choice, nor a blank box where i can type it in. is it possible to get around this, do you know? thanks. john b

  Stan, I think you need to set up Windows to recongize your e-mail
program as the default.

Why would the e-mail go through if there was an attachment blocker when I take the attachment from Photo Studio and not go through when I take the same numbered attachment from "My Pictures" via the "E-mail this file" button ?.
