After further testing, I conclude that I can send email to Yahoo email
addresses with Pegasus Mail with no problem but no so with Outlook
Express or The Bat. If I send email using The Bat, then the sending
process as shown in the Connection Center always hangs 5 bytes before
the message total size. I tested this by sending emails using Pegasus Mail
and Outlook Express and within a minute or so, with The Bat.
Messages sent with The Bat were returned to me from my ISP's mailer
daemon a few hours later as follows (text edited by me):

Judging from the above, even though the message appears to have been
sent by The Bat, (a) the Connection Center did not indicate the fact
and (b) the message was not delivered anyway.
