Sending email from Outlook to Yahoo account:

Good Evening:
My daughter uses Yahoo for her email account at college. When I send her an

from Outlook Express she can. Is there anything I can do in Outlook for her
to view them instead of me going back and forth between emails? Thanks for
your hel

My daughter uses Yahoo for her email account at college. When I send
her an email using stationery or pictures, she can not see them, but
if I send it from Outlook Express she can. Is there anything I can
do in Outlook for her to view them instead of me going back and forth
between emails?

While I'm only guessing, I suspect you're sending your messages in Rich Text
format from Outlook. Only another Outlook client can read that format. Try
setting your message format to HTML.

Hi Brian:
Thank you for the reply. All of my emails from Outlook are set up to html.
Could it be due to SP2 or something else?

Windows XP SP2? I doubt that's causing the problem.

What happens if you send the message in plain text and include the pictures
as attachments?

Is your daughter in your Contacts folder? If so, open her Contact record
and double-click her e-mail address. Look at the bottom in the "Internet
format" drop-down. Make sure it doesn't say "Send using Outlook Rich Text
Format", which would override whatever you have chosen as your message
format.

Hi Brian:
When I choose her name and check for format it states:
Let Outlook decide the best sending format

Well, I'm stumped. Have you tried sending a plain text message with a
picture attachment?
