Someone found and deployed a method to defeat Yahoo's e-mail spam classification. They use an extremely long From: with a particular syntax. It goes through all filters like hot knife through butter. It does not seem to harm anything else, although I have to wonder if the content of that From: attacks some ancient browser.

@valleyforge I captured one, see link. However, today is the first day in about a month when Yahoo started to put them in Spam folder. I was marking them "Spam" since the beginning and it did nothing. But yesterday I mentioned it and... a coincidence, I'm sure.
