Why would anyone want to use webmail servers to fetch email from Yahoo, Hotmail etc. if he already has an email account from which to send the webmail requests?? Yahoo has an excellent email forwarding feature which can be used to bounce email to any address of your choice. In my book, using the webmail servers for activities such as fetching your web-based email or MP3s amounts to abuse. Sriram N.

You can try to read it with Ghostscript.
