Hi, I'm using yahoo to compose my email. But whenever I use <img src="something"> the email turns out saying <img src="something"> when really I want it to display an image. How do I tell yahoo and msn that I'm trying to display an image?

You're using Yahoo to compose the email? You mean by hand or is there some developer API for this?
If this isn't some developer API they have these things disabled for spam/XSS reasons. With images enabled in images you can work out when somebody has opened and email although I'm not going to disclose how that works because I'm opposed to using such ways to invade privacy.
To mail HTML tags you need to use a text/html MIME type.

You're seriously going to have to show some code. How are you sending the email? That's what I was trying to establish
You've posted in client side and I'm not aware of any mailer solutions client side since they would require some hefty RPC activity.
How exactly are you using Yahoo? In code or in person?
