So have I, but that doesn't change the fact that Yahoo's official position is 
that such messages are not real.  I think that their response was incorrect, 
but interestingly, when other people have asked, they get the same answer (when 
they get any answer).  Furthermore, NNFMP is not registered in the IANA's list 
of valid protocols, so if it were real, Yahoo would [or should] have registered 
it.  Since I reject messages that they told me were forged, if that's not true, 
it's their problem for misinforming us.

You should find it curious (like I did) that when the question was asked on 
"answers.yahoo.com", Yahoo deleted the question and answer.  If NNFMP were 
legitimate, then why would they delete questions regarding it?
