OK, figured it out...I think.

It looks like it's an issue with how the Yahoo! Groups email service
is parsing messages sent from the Pre that have more than 1 level of
embedded reply.

So, if you are quoting text that itself quoted text (or deeper) and
using the Pre to do so, how it formats the quoted text is not being
understood by Yahoo!

Whose fault that is is beyond me, although Gmail seems to parse it
just fine...so I'm guessing it's Yahoo! not keeping up with modern
formatting standards.
