a ramble about yahoo

what is this email stuff about patty, me, or Dr. ......., me. Or, Dr. seuss, me. Seems to me that yahoo is infantilizing all of us at once.

Too cute. It's been a few weeks now an I am getting annoyed.

I liked it when I was clear what I sent by email, and then what the person answered.

I don't use Yahoo. I don't understand what you are telling us here.

@edgarblythe,
A few minutes ago I had to check in, was not recognized, though partly, and had to come up with a new password. I guess I was a fool.

@ossobuco,
On the too me stuff, that is what you see, in your posts - so and so to me.

I think it's creepy.

@ossobuco,
Can you clarify? I don't necessarily understand what they're doing now. I gave up on Yahoo a couple of years ago and even then it was merely to take in the hundreds of Freecycle email messages and nothing else.

Maybe your account was hacked. It's quite a possibility. I don't really trust Yahoo and their ability to keep hackers out of people's accounts.

@tsarstepan,
I've been hearing about the password issue from several a2k sources; Timur and OmsigDavid if I correctly recall. So far, it hasn't affected me.

What I have been seeing is the messages and their multitude of replies and rereplies are no nested or chained, which was one of my issues with gmail. I believe if you delete one of those messages, it's possible to accidently delete the entire chain. Also, it wasn't till today that I discovered a way to add someone to the contact list. I'm really afraid Yahoo has selected the wrong role model to imitate.

So, what mail system are you using, tsarstepan?

Dang, but I'd hate to have to notify everyone of a new address. Still, it might be a way to get a note from littlek.

@ossobuco,
That "To Me" garbage in yahoo's little way of telling you the message was to you; from whoever. I had a series of back and forths from one party and forwarded the whole shebang to a third party for notification. It got kind of confusing, and I had to check my 'sent' box to be completely sure of who I had actually sent the whole thing to.

@roger,
I use Gmail but I rarely use email for long form chain of replies so I never have that problem ... at least not yet.

For work, I use Outlook (but I sure a very old version as my law firm is cheapo in terms of not updating Windows and its Office programs - all XP systems.

@tsarstepan,
Thanks, anyway. Gmail just isn't my solution.

@roger,
Thanks, you explained it. I was startled when I saw Dr. Soandso to me. Such strange wording. I was fine with the previous years of the name of who was sending me a message, the start of the message, and then date/time. And then the nesty business. Rolls eyes.
