I have a question about receiving attachments over AOL Instant Messenger?

That means that you were sent a socalled "AIM Virus"  they will just send out spam files to fill up hard drives.  It will send it to most of the people on your list, too.  I would suggest asking BEFORE you download it.

You can't unless you have a peer to peer connection.  All IM traffic is routed through AOL's servers.

You may have a setting turned on in your preferences within Yahoo.  Check into it.  Otherwise the picture may simply not transmit well online.  The link may be protected or broken for the image.  Try to get another attachment form a friend and see if that works.

You Must Know The Format Of That Attachment.\n\nIf Your PC Has The Same Program To Read That Format\nThen No Problem.\nOtherwise You Must Install That Program First.\n\nmail to abrly, if u need more clarifications!!!\n\nabrly@yahoo.com

You can now send email and instant messages to other participants. Many of you have found connections with other people on Yahoo! Answers, and we wanted to give you a way to contact them without having to post your personal information on the Q&As (which is actually a violation of our community guidelines). To enable your account to send and receive emails and instant messages, simply go to your profile page, click on Edit my Profile, and in the Communications box, check the Email Settings or Yahoo! Messenger Settings boxes to allow either emails or IMs, or both. Please note that your email address is never shown to the recipient, either on the email or your profile page, and the only way to reply is through a link to Yahoo! Answers. If you click "Reply" on an email, your message goes to a non-functioning address. If a person does not have email communications enabled, you will not be able to send any messages.

Let me see if I have this straight. Someone sent you a web link in a Yahoo instant message and the web page will not open? What does AOL have to do with this? Are you sure the link is a good one? Please clarify your problem.\n\n1/18/06 Thanks for updating your question. I assume you have a 'default' browser setting. In other words, your system knows to open a particular browser when you click on a link (i.e. a link in a message). Even though you use AOL as an internet provider you do NOT have to use their browser. I assume you are aware of that as well. I suggest you download Mozilla Firefox as a browser. Not sure this will cure this problem but it is a very fast, user friendly browser. Email me at kenburnham2001@yahoo.com if you are still having problems.

You should be able to download it.  Are you able to download other files from other sites?\n\nMy suggestion would be not to use Yahoo messenger but use Gaim which supports Yahoo Messenger, AIM, MSN messenger, ICQ, IRC and others.  Check out Gaim at http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

What kind of question is this?!?! Don't you ever use email? You can send whatever you want. I get attachments that are 2-3 Mb with no problem, whatsoever. I bet a simple text file should be 20 K and should pose no problem at all.

You will need to forward as text, then you can edit the transmission before sending.\n\nTo forward messages as text rather than as attachments, do the following:\n\nGo to yahoo mail\nclick "options"\nclick "General Preferences"\nscroll down to "Message Actions"\nClick "Forward as Inline Text"\nClick "Save" and you're done!

try alternate location like http://www.zdnet.com or http://www.downloads.com etc or u can download with the help of getright or DAP but these are efficient only when u download full software (like msn messenger) but if u r downloading yahoo messenger which downloads dynamically from yahoo website then these downloadars are not helpful. Zdnet supports full software download of yahoo messenger. \nIf u experience further problem i can send u messenger setup to your mail.

Depends on what service you have. you can send them within AIM and MSN Messenger for free. Sending from you phone however charges no matter what service you have, unless its in your plan.

If your asking how to use them? If someone e-mails you something and you want to reply to them. Click reply. If they sent you something and you want to share it with others click Forward. And if you want to attach something that are already in your files. Click Attach, it will then open a small window asking you what you want to attach. You pick the first number it brings you to your saved files. Find what it is you want attach and click on it. It will then be your number 1 attachment, if you want more, click onto the next one and repeat the same thing you just did. When you are through, follow what it says, it will then bring you back to your original screen. Add your addresses, hit sent and waaaaaa-laaaaaaaaa. Your lesson is through.\nI hope that's what you were asking. Your question was kinda vague.\nSmileyCat : )

What e-mail system do you use? If it is Outlook Express, you can go through its Options menu (accessible through the Tools menu on the top bar) and xonfidure it to allow attachments to be sent and received. If you don's use Outlook Express, try to look through that program's Options menu and see if there is something similar to the Outlook Express one.

If they do not have this, I have been told you can recommend this to AOL by emailing their webmaster. I don't believe they have this however, yet I don't use AOL anymore.
