hello,

i have been trying to send a pic from the web by email.

i first cliked on the picture and SaveAs.  it saved as '.bmp' file extension, i could open it in MSPaint, i could clik on the file and drag to Internet Explorer and that opens fine. but when i send the file by email as an attachment.  OR when i copy the picture of the web and paste it in the yahoo message,  the recepient only receives icons that can't open or display any picture.  when i cliked on and drag to IE, i also saved it with extension JPEG.  but again same thing.  just small icons but no picture.  i would appreciate any help.  thankyou in advance

Seems you only send a shortcut and not the actual picture. Make sure to send the file itself and not a file with the ext. lnk

I right clik on the picture on the web site, selected saveAs , gave it a name (with .bmp ext),  the in the yahoo email i selected attachment , and attached that file as i usually do with MS Word files. 

i also did right clik > Copy and pate into the yahoo message, and could see the picture in the message.  but when sent , the receipient doesn't receive them .  they only receive icons which even if you clik on notting happens. 

i see sometimes on the email / websites, similar icons appear , initially , but then get enlarge to full picture.  these dont do that

have you tried sending to yourself? sometimes attachments in emails ARE icons that you have to click on to open... sounds like you're sending it correctly though.
