It is hard to believe how stupid Yahoo mail is about this. I just did a
test. I sent a message with the MIME structure

multipart/mixed
    text/plain (message header)
    multipart/alternative
        text/plain (plain message body)
        text/html (html message body)
    text/plain (message footer)

to my yahoo.com address. Yahoo showed me the message header and the
message footer and a single 'attachment' which was the message footer.
No part of the message body was visible or accessible in Yahoo mail.

The really annoying part is that the HTML message body contained
embedded images, and even though Yahoo mail did not display this part,
it still displayed the "blocked remote images" message and did nothing
when I clicked unblock.
