But it doesn't or we wouldn't be having this discussion. I already tried
this numerous times before posting. Copying the actual offending email
address right from the raw email and pasting it into my scorefile in the
form

score '~f offen...@hotmail.com'     =-100

does nothing for this guy.

I have no problem scoring From: on mailing lists except with Yahoo. I have
to believe the way they mangle the header has something to do with this problem.

Agreed but what could it be?
