[RC] web bugs from Yahoo - Michael Maul

In thinking about it - I'd actually guess that Yahoo *might* have a technical reason for a web bug.

They could be interested in tracking whether email is actually received by their customers. While bounce messages can give an indication - they are so non-standard that having a known method of checking delivery w/o a receipt acknowledgment has an appeal.
The web bug does that.

I noticed quite a while ago that _._ was showing up in forwarded yahoo messages and was not appearing in anything I saw in the email.
