Re: Files not attaching in Yahoo mail

I cannot guarantee it, but the following method may work:

How do I make OE my default mail client?

Go to...Start / Run...and enter the following:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /reg< 
(copy paste everything between the > < but not including the > <)
(But first...Check the path to msimn.exe to make sure it is correct)

Click...OK...

Then open Internet Explorer and go to...Tools / Internet Options /
Programs tab...and set OE as the default mail (and news) program.

Good luck.

more info --- also tried to attach a photo from MSPicture It 2002 and had
similar experience. Email opened / text and subject added to email but there
was no attachment. I changed my default email program to Outlook Express and
tried it from My Computer and Picture It! and they both attached files.
Unfortunately, I cannot really test this by sending it to myself b/c I get an
error when I try to send a msg from Outlook Express (not set up??). Can
anyone help?

From Windows XP, I can no longer auto-attach files from My Pictures, Word
etc. Previously, I could easily reduce photos to smaller size and
auto-attach in Yahoo email just by clicking "Email this file" from My
Pictures. Now, it appears to behave the same but when my Yahoo email is
opened to the Attach File page, the files are not actually attached. The
location of the file is now listed and I have the option to manually browse
and attached the file(s). I called Yahoo and they stated that as long as I
can manually browse and attach -- that's all they can help with. Why have I
lost the time-saving function of automatically attaching a file to my email
directly from My Pictures?
