No, because while the info to fix it is I believe contained in this 
thread, the OP hasn't fixed it yet. I am a member of a couple yahoo 
groups, and peoples inability to learn that the arrow keys on their 
keyboards will put the curser nearly anyplace in the message so they can 
type their reply so as to create the email according to list customs or 
even the RFC's is what boggles what little mind I have left at my age.

We won't get into just how broken the yahoo web mail is, its a well 
established fact, and will not be fixed because Marisa fired all the 
tech help 2+ years ago. And so far, kmail here has not been given any 
problems submitting to those groups thru the server at my ISP. Sucking 
from them is entirely at my ISP's discretion because I actually pull 
from Shentels dovecot server, not yahoo's.  Thats what ISP's are for. 
Isn't it?

Cheers, Gene Heskett
