Yahoo mail won't let me send mail. It says "unable to send,please add text - trying to cut down on spam"... I'm only trying to email my wife?

I've tried adding text(a lot of text) and adding a subject, but for some reason, yahoo won't let me send any email. I only send emails to my wife...This time it was 3 pics. It used to work. What can I do?

Here's what it says:

Unable to send message 

If you are sending a link, try adding some text to it. This helps us fight spam

    I've had the same yahoo address for over 20 years. Now I can't send mail from my yahoo account and my devices are constantly being dropped by yahoo. Pathetic. Get your act together, Yahoo!

    The only thing that works for me is to log out & back on. Sometimes it works again right away but other times it won't let me send mail until the following day...It is frustrating
