OK, yahoo web mail displays it properly, because I can see it fine now. But if
I post a message using the form provided by http://groups.yahoo.com - on
viewing the message in the archive or in an email client, the letter is
garbled.

This implies that the program that accepts/processes the form on the
yahoogroups server is not able to interpret the code properly, and, this
program is different from the one that does the interpretation for yahoo mail.

I will be posting a bug report at yahoogoups, since the problem seems to be at
their end.
Thank you.

Alok
