email pictures from within another program through HTTP accounts

I've seen similar questions posted, but haven't been successful, so I'll pose
the question myself. Just upgraded to Vista. Use two http email services:
Yahoo (personal) and MSN (small business). When I click on "Email" from
within Windows Photo Gallery, it tries to send through Windows Mail. Windows
Mail says it can't send through http servers, both Yahoo and MSN say they
don't do POP3. How do I resolve? I don't need/want Yahoo and MSN to be
delivered into Windows Mail, I just want one of them (I'll take either at
this point) to open a "send message" box when I click on "email" from various
programs and internet pages. Is there no way to configure the way it used to
work in XP?

Yahoo claims that they have a fix to set Yahoo Mail as the default,
but I've seen some reports that it doesn't work in Vista:

There is a fix for Hotmail, but I don't know if it works for MSN accounts:

Hope this helps.

Thank you. It worked for MSN, and that solved my problem.
