John,

I presume this is what you were looking for ...

  [Yahoo Groups via Arachne] :

  Using Arachne, I can (and do!) :
  a) Sign-in (requires the 'https2http' setting).
  b) Read messages, even without logging in.
  c) Reply to messages (requires login).
  d) Download from the file area (requires login).
  e) Participate in discussions via e-mail without
     needing to access the Yahoo Groups web interface.

Reminder : Beware using Yahoo Mail with Arachne, the cookies
there are about twice as big as Yahoo Groups and _will_ crash
Arachne.

Footnote (for the technically minded) : Since becoming aware
of this cookie problem with Arachne, I have read RFC-2109 to
see how big cookies are allowed to be. The answer : 4096 bytes!
So as big as Yahoo cookies are, especially Yahoo Mail, they
are still nowhere near as big as they are allowed to be.   :-/

Joe.
