thats not the only thing yahoo has been doing lately. I can't even use their 
web interface for mail checking. the site is coded in such a way as to cause 
the screen reader cursor to reset to the top of the page before I even get down 
to the inbox. Quite a number of us blind computer users have tried to petition 
yahoo, but that company seems to be indifferent to the havoc they are causing. 
Because of this, a lot of blindness (and linux related) mailing lists are 
moving elsewhere.

So far, I haven't seen any bounces, but then I haven't posted to the list much.
