    Funny… But it can be assilimated to spam mail. Hopefully I don’t use yahho! mail. I don’t like they add advertisment to any sent mail :/

    Yes, this was in use since they’ve started rolling out the beta version, if I remember correctly ;-)

    As for the ads, just pay $20/year if it bugs you _that_ much. Y! mail is by far more reliable than Gmail/Hotmail and it doesn’t scan your mail, like Gmail (for ad displays).

    I don’t really see how this could be abused for spam though. It’s merely a subject, which is not something that has much impact on most spam filtering systems. I also doubt spammers need something like this. Creating random subjects is fairly easy ;-)
