Thursday sees the release of Yahoo!'s latest solution to add value to its Mail service, in competition with Gmail and Hotmail. Yahoo! PhotoMail works with IE only [grumble] and uses a proprietary interface to provide drag-and-drop placement of thumbnail photos in the body of outgoing e-mails. Up to 300 thumbnails may be placed. In the background, Yahoo! caches the photos from your hard drive, and serves those full-size images when the recipient clisk the thumbnails. Watch this space for a review.

1. tried it..cant have it.
Darn!
We're sorry but PhotoMail is not yet available for customers accessing Yahoo! Mail through our Internet access partners. Rest assured that this great new feature will soon be available to you. Just look for the "Insert Photos" button when composing a message, then you'll know you're ready to use PhotoMail.
In the meantime, you can always share photos using the "Attach Files" button in Yahoo! Mail, or check out Yahoo! Photos for easy ways to share your digital pictures with friends. Go to Yahoo! Mail
