It's possible; since setting up my hooks, I rarely get an email that
doesn't show up properly, so I don't know what Yahoo's story is.
One of the things that I've experienced with some webmail clients
before, though, is that they simply ignore the character set that the
browser sends with the message content (assuming one is sent---maybe
one isn't, making it a bit of a hard problem), and mark all messages
as iso-8859-1, regardless of the actual character set used. However,
since most of those messages are sent by Windows machines, the
character set is usually windows-1252, so those hooks usually take
care of it.
