Yahoo Emails Smell Fairly Phishy

Note: A CRLF will be replaced by a break tag (&lt;br&gt;), all other allowable HTML will remain intact
Allowed HTML Tags: &lt;b&gt; &lt;i&gt; &lt;a&gt; &lt;em&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;strong&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;hr&gt; &lt;tt&gt;

ZaneK writes "According to trimMail's Email Battles, Yahoo Search Marketing is pumping out messages that are actually phishier than those sent by the real phishers who send messages in Yahoo's name. A dissection of Yahoo's apparently legit mail actually yields a pretty comprehensive clinic on how to start an illegal phishing scheme." A year ago, we noted that many banks still sent out phish-like emails, but you would think that a company like Yahoo would have realized not to do this long ago.

try Google... and unix... (or linux)
If browsing to a certain page crashes ur computers,
the fault most likely lies in your browser(cache), not with Yahoo.

Yahoo! mail servers are also getting too slow, with spammers even exploiting the Yahoogroups which have large number of members to send spam mails.

Yahoo! needs to buckle up soon!
