TSGL: : pix missing in Yahoo Plus

[H Davis]

Chuck,

Re differences between html images and others:

Many e-mails are composed of text only with images "attached" using 
whatever procedure is provided by the e-mail client to attach _files_. 
At the sending end the client doesn't really know or care if the 
attached file is an image or not.

On the receiving end though, most e-mail clients look at the attached 
files and, if they are images, jpg, gif, bmp, etc. the client will 
display them at the end of the body text of the e-mail. On my Yahoo 
account these are shown in the "Attachments" area below the signature 
line of the e-mail. But, if I have set my Yahoo options to not display 
images, the usual "missing image" image will be displayed instead along 
with the file name of the image I can't see.

Most e-mail clients can compose an html e-mail. This is an e-mail that 
is actually a web page with html code specifying how the message is to 
be displayed. In such a message you place the images exactly where you 
want them in the image. You can also specify all the usual stuff like 
font size and style, background colors or images for the page, external 
links, etc, etc. Spam is often of this type.

I sent myself 2 e-mails to a Yahoo account I have but don't use much. It 
has the options set to "Don't show images".

When I sent an image "attached" to a message, the image did not appear 
but its file name appeared below the signature line on the message and a 
blank space where the image should have been (remember, my options are 
set to not display images).

When I sent an html image placed in the body of the message, the text 
and the image appeared as I had composed them, even with my "don't 
display images" settings.

Since you describe your images as being interspersed with the text, it 
looks like they are part of an html message and should show up.

I'm cc'ing you directly so you'll get this and I'll send some examples 
of the above to your Yahoo address.
