It does. However, I'm not sure it declares everything that would be of  
interest to me. Some of my research on this indicates it only shows up  
when one runs a decent software firewall on XP: ZoneAlarm, Sygate, Kerio,  
etc. There are at *lot* of people griping about this on forums all over.  
The browser is completely immaterial. Even if the browser itself blocks  
popups, etc., there's no problem. Only when this =something= is blocked at  
the firewall does it break the webmail interface. Turn off the firewall  
and all is well.

My experience teaches me even if I have a commercial account at Yahoo,  
they hold themselves unaccountable. In my situation, I do not have any  
options -- SBC/Yahoo is the only broadband provider in this area under T1  
prices.
