Why can't I copy and paste a jpeg, or GIF to the message in my email?

Because it's not that kind of file. Only a text file can be copy and pasted. It's an image file. You have to attach it. There's no way around it.

This is unacceptable! Shame on Yahoo! I want to be able to copy and paste in body of email!

Maybe it's bad

I often end up writing the same thing on other sites
