Those come from:
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/mp/gr/mp22_l.gif
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/mp/gr/mp22_r.gif
So be sure you are allowing (not blocking) the Domain: yimg.com
Click on (or copy and paste) the above full links and see if they open in your FF browser.

That is embedded in the picture, (not an overlay), and comes from: (part of link
since it is extreemly long) image.maps.yahoo.com
(We already knew you did not block Yahoo.com.)

When you copy and paste, it uses the embedded alternate tags in that line for
the gif. (It is not magic, <grin>...)
PS: One little missing part you did not notice:
Be sure to view this next part in the CC: I sent you. (See if that works, if not - see link below.)
Yahoo! Driving Directions (This line is "OK")
Of the right end of the next line, The link to +My Yahoo should be missing the gif.
Maps | Driving Directions
(This is just above: Starting from: 1697 Broadway, New York, NY 10019-5904 Save Address)
If that looks bad also, it sort of proves it is a Domain issue...
Graphic links embedded in body of above e-mail, (they should be broken here too).
The following (will appear offlist only) is a screen shot (16k) of what I see above so you know what to look for.
This will look "odd" on the list, and will likely not work too well even as a CC: (especially if read in "forced plain text mode".)
SO ---
For a screen shot of this last "hidden" part of this message, (the part the list will strip),
OR what might be "broken" due to settings problems grandfathered into the CC: that portion of the message (51K jpg) can be seen
here:

One last thought: All of the above (e-mail tricks) assume FF is registered as your DEFAULT browser...
