The message Yahoo's not getting

Nope, that headline does not refer to Microsoft's acquisition bid of the search company. Not directly, anyway.

"I couldn't help but shake my head a bit over the announcement about Yahoo's plans to re-make online advertising. While I truly wish them luck, my readers keep telling me that Yahoo still has a problem with a much more basic part of the Internet -- e-mail," Ed Foster begins.

The search giant's vast experience at dealing with the spammers who use its free e-mail doesn't seem to have given it a leg up in detecting junk messages, Foster asserts in Yahoo's not getting the message.

At least one reader thinks "Yahoo has the worst spam filter of all," while another is frustrated with e-mail delays.

If you know a company that's too busy re-designing the Internet to bother fixing their existing products, send them a message by posting your comments about it below or at the link above.
