Htaccess that allows Google & Yahoo images?

Thanks Cleo
I originally asked this because I've stumbled across older sites where I forgot to put htaccess on it, and was getting traffic from Google Images. I had thought it would be nice to keep getting that traffic, while still using htaccess.

Obviously google images does have it's limitations. I could create a separate folder with "googleable" images in it, but I was just looking for a quick thing to whack into the main pics folder.

Barron, are you talking about the way google loads the whole image as a thumb, or the way it loads the original page in a frame?

Perhaps I should start separating out my thumbnails into a separate folder and allowing google to use that?
