If you stubbernly are sending email in html format you could be 
considered as being on the bad side, yes.

Allow me to ask: who is frabar2002{at}yahoo.com?

Now, let's make things clear:

People using Yahoo as mailer in the same way as others use hotmail.com 
ALWAYS, repeat ****ALWAYS***** are making their mail up in html. ALWAYS, 
because there is no choice. And as the headers of your messages prove, 
you are doing so, of which you are entitled to of course.
And of course, if Yahoo changes his html affairs, the outlook to look 
out for of your messages will be changed too. Elementary I dare to say.
OTOH, the people (according to me) on the good side use mozilla, 
TB/PMmail/whatever do have the choice to use textmode from the 
beginning  while creating a message and most of them if not all choose 
to do so. Only thing to look out for then is Yahoo doesn't transform 
your textmode into html, and that's what the option "do not 
transform...." is meant for.

Bottom line again: all this fuzz is only about people wanting to create 
their messages in html. The others aren't concerned and for these 
NOTHING has changed ever since 1999.

Clear enough?


A proposito: people using M$ lookout can be considered to be on the bad 
side too, because all of them apparently choose to make up messages in 
html. And of course, as these messages are made in html, the  outlook to 
look out for has changed due to the new Yahoo procedure. Once again 
elementary.

Additional bottom lien: clear the fuss and create your messages in 
textformat.
