So, let me get this straight. You are using the Yahoo web mail interface to read this list, and when you clicked on the tinyurl link it obviously resolved correctly because tinyurl.com redirected you to something that contains the right resource path for the image. However, the domain name part of that URL doesn't appear to have resolved correctly because whatever server produced that message it isn't lh5.ggpht.com (which is where the image is located). And the error, according to the above, appears to be associated in some way with Google....<scratches head> We're clearly missing some vital piece of the puzzle here! <straw-clutching>Does your library have some sort of web address filtering in place, and if so what is it supposed to do when you try to access a "banned" URL? The other possibility is that your DNS (domain name) resolver has been compromised by some malware (more than likely in a public-access computer I expect...)
