You know...all I want to be able to do is continue to use my AT&T Yahoo email
address/mail account AND send a link or photo from an open browser without
Windows mail or windows live mail...infact, should I delete one of these
programs from my computer? As you know, windows mail came preloaded...I
downloaded windows live....this is a mess for me.
