YAML is _very_ buggy.
http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=YAML
Also from the YAML POD...
WARNING: This is *ALPHA* code.
BIGGER WARNING: This is *TRIAL1* of the YAML 1.0 specification. The
YAML syntax may change before it is finalized. Based on past
experience, it probably will change. The authors of this spec have
worked for over a year putting together YAML 1.0, and we have
flipped it on it's syntactical head almost every week. We're a
fickle lot, we are. So use this at your own risk!!!
Why not just keep it simple, and put text files in a directory and name
them (so you can easily determine order via sort glob)
$year-$month-$day-$hh$mm-filename_safe_headline
and then in the file, make almost e-mail-like

I've just had a bad go with YAML a couple of times. Thought it was the
best thing since sliced bread, until I dumped something to YAML
and couldn't load it :(
BTW, got my darn e-mail fixed... stupid default debian exim install was
rewriting my envelope From and my Sender: header to my user account
instead of the address in my "From:" header.
