Try copying and pasting the address into your browser, then using
the "backspace" key to delete the comma or the period at the end,
which the yahoo mail client has accidentally included as part of the
address.
For future reference, when including a web address in an email,
always leave plenty of space around it (above, below, in front, and
behind) so that it works and is clickable. Don't add periods, commas,
colons or semicolons, etc. to the end or the address won't work.
Sometimes, with a very long address that "wraps around" or, in other
words, has to use more than one line, the Yahoo system will only make
the first line clickable, and thusly the link is "bad" when clicked
on. For those, just highlight each line and then paste them into the
browser window so you have the complete address... then hit "enter"
and you're there! Once you're on the page, you can always bookmark it
for reference later.
so, the correct links are:
http://www.contrabass.com/2007/Sarrusophone1.jpg
http://www.contrabass.com/2007/Sarrussophone2.jpg
and
http://www.contrabass.com/2007/Sarrusophone3.jpg
