My Yahoo mail pictures are all downloading into zip files. How do I change this?

Whenever I download any picture (such as a JPEG), it automatically goes into a Zip file. I have no other choice when asked how to save it other than ALL FILES, but when I select that, and try to open the picture(s) up, (in, for example Photoshop), the file says it is unknown and I can do nothing with it. How can I correct this? What happened to the option to save it as something else instead of just a zip file?!

    I do not know why it is a zip file but why don't you just open it? Maybe it was sent as a zip file. Just double click like any other file and if there are pictures in it you can drag them out to another location to expand them.
