I've used Yahoo for my main address for a year or two, I've never noticed messages being trimmed. I use it almost exclusively in POP rather than web mode, though. There was an amusing story a while ago that to prevent java script exploits they were changing word in messages displayed in webmail -- "eval" in particular became "review", making "medieval" into "medireview". See http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,102797,00.asp Since Yahoo, paving the way for Mac.com, started charging for the privilege, I'm not going to keep it past the first year. There are still a couple of free POP mail services you can get, including myrealbox.com and gmx.net, but eventually I'll go to my own domain, when I can think of a cool name that isn't a trademark or copyright infringement... -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
