1. I wouldn't trust yahoo mail for security, but that's up to you 2. I guess it depends on his positioning between yourself and yahoo, if he can sniff traffic traversing the network you are on or not 3. Doesn't matter if you never get it. otherwise, exactly what would you encrypt, the fact that he was there, he knows that, so why encrypt it.

Can anyone see any security problems with sending such info to a yahoo.com email address (in other words, how secure is yahoo mail)? 2. Is it possible for an attacker to intercept email messages sent from a host he has targeted? 3. Should such emails be encrypted before being sent?
