   Too bad for Yahoo that theirs misses a bunch of stuff.  It's even by =
design that they allow offensive images to be displayed and even state =
this in their help for the feature.  They appear to make no attempt to =
block some forms of external references.

  Yahoo's webmail service had the image-blocking capability for a while.
  Once again, Microsoft is playing catch-up to others who are really =
