thats not the only thing yahoo has been doing lately. I can't even use their web interface for mail checking. the site is coded in such a way as to cause the screen reader cursor to reset to the top of the page before I even get down to the inbox. Quite a number of us blind computer users have tried to petition yahoo, but that company seems to be indifferent to the havoc they are causing. Because of this, a lot of blindness (and linux related) mailing lists are moving elsewhere.
So far, I haven't seen any bounces, but then I haven't posted to the list much.

Our mailing list should happy send you emails forever whether or not you read them until you unsubscribe or get kicked off the list due to excessive messages bouncing due to your email provider rejecting them.
