That's really a shameful situation for Yahoo, IMHO. I can vouch for using Gmail. It's the best! I've been using that mail-forward trick for years now, and I *love* it. Many times I've received PBS-BX messages to my smart phone while out & around the town... and submitted my reply to Dell ASAP. I could never do that with my old mail service. I stopped using Yahoo and Hotmail a long time ago. Gmail is my favorite. Kudos to Mary Sue for that thorough investigation!
