Thanks duffy98. May be something specific to my setup. Time to investigate...

RE: Yahoo mail acting weird
sidki's fix on page 3 solved the inbox access problems, but I'm having the same issue now as soccerfan. Left clicking the attachment download link will not display an attached image. However if you right click and choose Open Link in New Tab (Firefox), it will show it.

The left click doesn't take me back to the main page but I think that's because I have the following entries in IncludeExclude-U.

Code:
www.yahoo.com/   $JUMP(https://login.yahoo.com)
my.yahoo.com/   $JUMP(http://mail.yahoo.com)

Thanks zoltan, your right-click solution is works and is a good work-around. (EDIT: changed left-click to right-click)

I played around a bit more and it seems to be a user-agent problem. Normally, my browser (k-meleon) is set to spoof firefox 2 using this string:
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
This is what causes my download problems.

When I use the following user-agent string for opera,
Code:
Opera/7.54 (Windows NT 5.1; U) [en]
I have no problems and get the message "download file" which can be right-clicked to bring up the browser's dialog box to save the file.


With this firefox 3 useragent,
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6pre) Gecko/20081201 Mozilla/3.0 GranParadiso/3.0.6pre
I get both the message "download file" and the browser's dialog box.
However, if I cancel the dialog box and right-click on "download file".
I get kicked out to the yahoo main page (as with the ff2 user-agent).

RE: Yahoo mail acting weird
I can't reproduce that being kicked out of Y!Mail part, but i do experience the missing download dialog for all files that can be displayed inline (e.g. *.jpg, but not *.zip).

It's caused by the fact that Yahoo is suppressing the location change when clicking an attachment, in conjunction with the "Content-Disposition: Display sel. Types inline" header filter.

It's hard to bypass that filter without beaking the excellent hashing ratio in IncludeExclude, because the attachments seem to be stored on a server with no alias (indicating frequent change):
Code:
http://68.142.200.12/us.f366.mail.yahoo.com/ya/securedownload?...&prefFilename=untitled1.JPG

However, "save as", "open in new tab", middle-clicking (in most browsers), should all work.


While we are at it, does anything get worse for you, if you replace "Yahoo Mail: Fix Attachment - Add Sign-Out" with below stripped down version?

Code:
[Patterns]
Name = "Yahoo Mail: Add Sign-Out     09.05.31 [jjoe po] (d.s) TEST"
Active = TRUE
URL = "$TYPE(htm)[^/]++.mail.yahoo.com/"
Limit = 128
Match = "<(li class="navitems first">)\1$SET(2=<a"
        " href="http://login.yahoo.com/config/login?logout=1&.direct=1"
        "&.done=http://www.yahoo.com&.last=http://mail.yahoo.com""
        " style="text-decoration:underline;" target="_top">Sign Out</a></li>"
        "<li class="navitems">)$SET(0=Y!M sign-out)"
Replace = "<$SET(sSpec=$GET(sSpec)\0.)\1\2"

Thanks. I replaced it in the Feb. release version (not alpha) and see no problems so far. Maybe others can chime in too.

Thanks for checking.

Thinking about it, it's unbearable having to remember not just to click a download link.
So here is an inelegant non-hashing IncludeExclude entry:
Code:
[^/]+/[^/]++.mail.yahoo.com/        $SET(0=a_type_d.)

Thanks for looking into it. The above entry in IncludeExclude (Feb 13,2009 config) did the trick.
No more middle-click or right-click required (it also means that I have three choices if I want) Smile!
