Cannot send pictures through email?

I get mails from friends with pictures included. But when I want to forward those mails to other friends, they get the mail with all the text but not the picture. I tried switching off the XP Firewall. But it did not solve the problem. Can anyone help. My Operating system is XP Pro and I use Yahoo Mail.

Open Yahoo Mail. On the right side click Options. Click General Preferences. Under the category "Composing Emails" the radio button for "Compose messages as color and graphics" should be checked. Even I had the same Problem.

when you do a forward with yahoo, you have 2 options.
inline text and as attachment. if you have a picture that has to be opened, send as a attachment. if the picture is already open when you receive it, send as inline text. there are some mail accounts that do not allow attachments.

If anything it is a problem on there end they may be blocking the pictures with what ever email provider they are using.
