characters, but to no avail yet (and as a result, have had some of my
emails arbitrarily chopped without any warning to me). I try, but don't
always remember, to add line breaks manually. And as the reply-to: header
is not visible in their webmail interface, I'm never really sure which

Sorry for giving you a bad email experience.
Sorry to hear that. Yes, if more people would complain to the webmail
providers and demand certain basic features, eventually someone will give
in. If that someone is Yahoo or GMail, others will probably follow suit.
One can hope. :-)
