I have noticed in the email archives that my emails from this address are not 
displayed properly.  See, for example, a message in the Haxx archive 
<http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2012-08/0169.shtml> and in the Apache archive 
<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-dev/201208.mbox/%3C1344997351.20750.YahooMailNeo%40web87704.mail.ir2.yahoo.com%3E>.


Technically, it looks like there is not just a single problem, but a 
combination of two or more issues.  It looks like Yahoo Web Mail is 
over-zealous(and perhaps wrong, I'm not sure)in encoding the message text, in 
end-of-line handling at least, and both of these archives seem to be weak (and 
perhaps broken, I'm not sure) at decoding it, in different ways.  I blame both 
Yahoo for not being conservative in what it sends, and the archives for not 
being liberal in what they understand.  I won't hold my breath for 
Yahoo to fix their end, and while in theory I could help improve the 
open-source archive software, I don't plan to.


Mainly I want to apologize for the inconvenience, and to say that I am looking 
to stop using this email interface ASAP.  Unfortunately I've been using it for 
nearly a year now.
