Hi all Beeing a yahoo user, I am a guilty party. While I kind of know I was sending HTML email, I forgot It could be a problem for others. It is quite easy to switch back to text only email [in yahoo](select Plain instead of Colors and Graphics in the compose window). I will try to remember to do so from now on.
