My first two tests which claimed they were being sent in HTML format were actually going out in RTF format (which I had set as a default for other testing). Please disregard those first two tests. What we've learned: 1. If you send a message to the forum in HTML format with an inline photo it should come through inline, right where you place it in the text. Only those who receive their e-mail in HTML format will see the photos. In most e-mail programs a close variation on this procedure should work: In my e-mail program I clicked on <Insert> <Picture> <From File> then selected the photo. It fits in the text in-line with the text. It's important that you edit your photo to have only 72 or 96 or so dpi (using some photo editing software) AND when you save it as .jpg you need to save it in quality level 3, 2, 1 or even 0 to keep the file size down. EVERY recipient will get the photo in this mode and a large file size can waste storage and make our dial-up members very unhappy. 2. Whether you use HTML or Plain Text, you may send a photo as an attachment. If you do this, Yahoo will store the image on the website and include a link that members may click to see the photo. If you don't have photo editing software to control the photo file size then PLEASE use this method. 3. If you receive your e-mail in Plain Text format, you will NOT receive in-line photos. I don't know if Yahoo will give you a link to access the photo. 4. If you read the e-mail on the website, you cannot see the photos nor do I see any way to add photos when you compose on the website.
