If someone knows how to filter out that text box cell thingie I'd love
to know of it. I too have to open gedit, copy from the original email
from "da boss" and paste it to gedit and then copy/paste from gedit to
the webpage creator. A pure pain in the tail. 

I suspect that Yahoo does that to "copy/protect" the contents, just so
the NSA knows exactly who wrote what when, without it being edited??
That, or they use some sort of compression technique to enhance their
server-farm hard drive's capacity. That is where all of the 40 meg hard
drives went to, I bet. My boss uses Verizon, who farms out the email to
Yahoo, which shows up in the message headers. I loathe Yahoo. I really
really do. :( Ric
