Yes I have found using Yahoo for E Mail is problematic in various ways. I think the basic problem is that it is solely a web based ISP. That means it is not compatible with Windows Mail nor Outlook Express.
I myself have two different e mail addresses one is Yahoo but that is really just my back up because my main e mail address is with tiscali.co. Uk and I send and receive my e mails through windows mail and attachments seem to go through more reliably and better quality. Overall I have found that much less frustrating to use, faster (even just on dial up without broadband which I can't get where I live) than working through yahoo and much better on such things as font choice, spell checking, dealing with spams etc.. So I would recommend get yourself an alternative ISP/e mail address so your access can be through Windows Mail and you will also find it much better for sending and receiving photos.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
