Dear SueW:
As amazing as it sounds there are many viruses transmitted through simple photographs. I remember back a few years ago I tried to delete a photograph I didn't much care for and hit Enter instead. Whoa Howdy man, my PC picked up AIDS. I Had to completely erase, delete, double check and finally reinstall the stuff I had built before I SNAFU'd. It was one of those Life lessons one does not want to repeat. But back to your query about "Yahoo Policy" and treatment of its client base goes, I believe it is harsh ill-treatment just to blow any one off without first 'splain'in what's involved. So back to the question: Yes, there can be virisius in photographs. But trusting any ole who these days to be on the up and up is risky at best and foolish at its worse.
There's not a lot of honesty on the Net. Information gathering is great but personal inquiries can be danger filled excersices in futility.
Love-Sincerly Yours,
Raven in California

Subject: [EL-M] new policy from yahoo
I sent a text message to one of my groups and the title was "photos". It
was pure text, no attachments and yahoo, without an explanation refused to
deliver it saying it contained a virus. I looked for "moderator central
forum" and that is disappeared. There is an email group of the same name
but you cannot post to it. Finally I went through the "contact us" only
