PHP hasn't done anything different for yahoo. If you want to send html-formatted email, check out Manuel Lemos mail class. Note: Some email users will automatically filter and discard html-formatted email, and your message will go unread. Be sure your userbase *wants* html-formatted email. Anybody who *really* wants to have their email links light up can just use a client that does it for them (such as yahoo).
