Yahoo blocking email

Apparently yahoo won't let you send your email address in one of their email things if the recipient isn't a member. Does anyone know a good way around that? I'm trying to send this guy a picture, which I can't do through their email system.

Have you tried writing it out without obvious email symbols such as @ or without using the word email? Such as, you can contact me at XYZ at yahoo.

Yep. It blocks out the word "yahoo", apparently.

Hmm. Have you tried spacing it out, like y a h o o ? Or saying something like "via the mail feature on this site"?

That's too bad they decided to do that, btw...guess I won't be going back to Yahoo personals after my dating hiatus is over!
