What you should do, is delete irrelevant parts of the message (like the
signature and the message headers), and add the > quote marks by hand;
it's not difficult when you're used to it. Yahoo!'s web interface might
not implement quoting automatically, but it lets you edit the message
you're quoting, and it generally takes less than a minute to get it into
the right format. (To prove it isn't hard, I've edited your message
above into what it /should/ have looked like.) One person sends the
email, but many people read it, when it comes to a mailing list; thus
it's courteous for the sender to take the time to get the formatting
right, rather than forcing every recipient to work out what you said.
