I want to make my own New Year´s postcard and send it from my Yahoo mailbox. I paste an image I have in My PC and type a text. I see both.

I have also tried to send the e-mail from the other e-mail boxes to Yahoo. The same result:

Powertoys for Windows XP Dec 17, 2007

If you don't have it already, get Powertoys for Windows XP. They're free and you can download them from Microsoft online. I use the image resizer which gives you the option of resizing an image by right-clicking on the file icon. This way, you don't have to open it using an image editor.
