yahoo 'pushed' the new email page format on me, but i reverted to
'classic' mode. look for something that's labeled 'yahoo mail classic'.
this should bring back the old interface.

...or maybe the new one has a new set of options?

i know gmail asks if i want to display pictures from a certain address,
and will remember to always do so if told. yahoo might have done this?

it might even be that acrobat is trying to 'steal' .jpg attachments
and you'll be okay after you do the update? acrobat reader is always
free - no need to fear. if you are concerned just open acro reader
and 'check for updates' [help menu - last item].
