It looks like Yahoo are adding adverts to incoming mail with Mail.app IMAP access


i've noticed of incoming mail has had spammy advert looking thing attached end of it. not present when accessing yahoo! mail account through iphone or web application - via lion's mail.app.

guess yahoo trying recoup of ad income they're losing out on mac users using mail.app access imap mail vs people going website (yahoo use modified version of imap protocol stopped mainstream mail clients accessing it).

problem is, seem applying across board - pay yahoo mail plus account advert free yet i'm getting these spammy messages.

today(beta) • powered yahoo!
