How can I compose a mail with an image in it?

Where are my Yahoo Mail Options for Rich Text Editing, and Compose in Color & Graphics?

  • I am trying to find out how to post an image in my Yahoo Email. The instructions at About.Com tell me to go to the "Mail Options" menu, and to enable "rich text editing" and to "Compose messages as color and graphics". However, I do not see these choices on my "Mail Options" menu. What are the current instructions on how to post an image in my Yahoo Email?

  • Answer:

    You can have any photo including an animated gif that is already on the web. Place the picture on the web. For example Flickr or Photobucket. There is no way to have an inline image directly from your computer in Yahoo mail on the web. It requires a separate email program. For IE go to the picture and right click on it and copy. Now go to the email body or signature and paste it. For Firefox it is a little trickier. Go to the picture in another window. You must be able to see the picture and the email window at the same time. Drag the picture to the email body or signature. NOTE: The picture you are dragging must not be a link, eg. clickable. If it is a link the link address gets copied rather than the picture. The picture must remain on the web since a link is used and not the actual picture. ʎəɿʞɹɐq  ̊ ͜͡● ̊

Click on Compose Message and choose Email ( at the upper left of your email page). You will see 3 choices. Attachments, Emoticons, Format. Click on Attachments. Click on the darkened ATTACH button. You should already be in Rich Text. Look to the right of the screen and you should see "Plain Text" as a choice but you don't want that. IE is Internet Explorer. That is the way you get on the internet thru Microsoft. It is your "browser".
