E-mail is a particular message.
Yahoo is not e-mail.
Yahoo is a company.
Yahoo operates many web sites, including a webmail site.
Yahoo provides e-mail services.

Your "default e-mail is Yahoo" means what? That you have a Yahoo
e-mail account, okay, but that says NOTHING about how you access it.
Are you asking about using a local e-mail client or using Yahoo Mail's
webmail interface?

Because sending anything from YOUR computer requires that you use a
local e-mail client. If you want to Yahoo Mail's webmail interface,
you'll have to use THEIR web site to send your e-mail. That means
saving the web page as a file and then having Yahoo Mail retrieve that
file to include in the e-mail that you originate at Yahoo Mail's host,
not yours.

Yahoo Mail is a web site, not a local e-mail client. At one time,
Yahoo Mail offered an ActiveX control (so you need to enable scripting
for your browser, if not already enabled) that you downloaded and
would run as the local e-mail client to interface with their webmail
service. You'll have to dig around Yahoo's site(s) to see if they
still offer that AX control. Once you download their AX control, it
should appear as a local e-mail client option in Internet Options ->
Programs for the default e-mail client.
