Apparently Yahoo webmail has spam settings that prevent the viewing of images.

However, when I send the mail to a friend, and they try to view it in their MUA (Eudora) the attachment shows up, but not as a png and not as text, but rather as a button that can't be opened in an image viewer. This indicates to me that it is a problem with the receiving MUAs and not with Gnus. I am wondering how other MUAs can send attachments that are readable by MUAs such as Eudora.
