Please note that this is about giving your Yahoo/MSN info to third
party. There's nothing wrong in giving Yahoo/MSN's login/passwd to
Yahoo/MSN itself, no matter if its a new kid around the block or an
old heavy weight. What Yahoo/MSN will do with your info is clearly
mentioned in their TOS.

That is the precise reason why this list does not allow emails larger
than 7KB and strips out all the attachments. Most of these kinds of
nematodes spread via attachments.
