I have tried hard to fix this and am stuck. Up until about
1 month ago, I was able to forward emails to my friends
including an attachment. Now when I press the button on my
yahoo mail screen to forward, if there is an attachment in
what I am forwarding, I get a screen that states "attach
Files" it then tells me to click browse and select a
file. What do they mean? I am unable to forward
attachments anymore as I cannot use this system.
Question: How can I get back to the old way, in which,
when I clicked forward, it automatically showed me a
screen (with a bar stating when it had finished including
the attachment) I then clicked send and off it went email
and attachment.
Yahoo was no help. Pleeeeeze help me.

If you are using the Yahoo web based email - the features (or lack of them)
are controlled by Yahoo. There is nothing you can change on your system for
this. What you can do is change your work flow. Save the attachment and
attach it to your outgoing mail. You may have to create a new message
instead of forwarding. If you do, copy and paste the message you want to
send on to others into a new email window.
