Ed Burkhead has been sending me suggestions and advice -- thanks, Ed.
While those didn't help directly, they did bring it to my attention that I
was using the NEW IMPROVED YAHOO MAIL. So I tried switching back to Yahoo
mail classic, while still avoiding rich text. So far it seems to be
working.

When I clicked for the switch, Yahoo asked for feedback. I told them.
Politely, I think.

YMC is however a !@#$%^&* pain in the butt, for a number of reasons, which
is why I switched. Maybe the worst is that, as far as I can tell, the ONLY
way to select a group of messages is to CLICK ON EACH OF THEM
INDIVIDUALLY. With the volume of spam that Yahoo delivers and the even
greater volume of mail on this list, that is Not Good... especially with
RSI (repetitive stress injury).

I may switch this mail away from Yahoo altogether.
