Express your personality or mood by adding a background to your outgoing email messages in Yahoo Mail. Add a background by enabling stationery in your Yahoo account, activating the rich text feature, and then applying an image background to all outgoing messages in the Yahoo New Message form. You can also add a theme to the Yahoo interface that displays on your Contacts, Calendars and Mail pages.
