  2. Shift key functions do not play nicely with other operations on "selected" strings or characters.

    I still like being able to highlight part or all of the email, and change the capitalization by pressing the Shift key one or more times, BUT I STILL WANT TO BE ABLE TO SELECT A GROUP OF CHARACTERS FOR OTHER PURPOSES, WITHOUT having the "capitalization" function hijack the operation. For example, I might want to "highlight" a word or phrase with a color, or with underscore, or with italics. Or I might just want to replace a string of characters with something else. DON'T let Yahoo ASSUME that "selecting" a word or phrase has anything to do with capitalization!…

  3. It makes no sense for the curser to start in the email body when forwarding

    It makes no sense for the curser to start in the email body when forwarding a message. It should open (and I thought that it used to work this way) in the 'To' field.
    The curser must be moused from the body to the 'To' field every time a message is forwarded.

  4. Please ease right to left writing.

    In the first use of the new system I was disappointed since many of my composed emails are written in Persian which needs right to left writing. I gmail, the composer nicely detects the language and automatically change to right to left when I write in Persian. Previous version of Yahoo composer was better that the new one for this need.

  7. forward several emails

    Please allow forwarding of multiple emails. I would like to be able to choose several emails and forward at one time rather than individually. Thank you.

  8. Highlighted content

    Unfortunately whenever I open up a new piece of mail the content inside is all highlighted. It might be a quirk in the new setup.

  9. You MUST provide a easy way to pick from my unique email addresses. Now they are just listed in no particular order and you cant search.

    I use your feature that allows me to setup many email address for the "From" area of the email. This is great to know who is spamming me. But with the new layout when I go to pick the email address to use in the "From" area I just get a large list of choices which appear in random order. I don't even have a way to search. Please add some type of order and search option for this. Thanks.

  10. What happened to pasting copied image snippets? It used to work in the old UI. Sad!

    Please bring it back! Even Facebook lets you do it now. Come on.

  13. save drafts more often

    the new version is not saving the draft emails often enough, and I have lost the wording of the same email twice, which is highly frustrating. I clicked to delete and encrusted table, and instead yahoo deleted the whole message, then I rushed to click undo, and the draft message I was left with was just the very first line I had written an hour ago, hence I have lost a complete hour of my time.

  14. Formatting

    Formatting is never retained when cutting and pasting into email format. Why? It is very difficult for me to run my business. I draft documents in word, then cut and paste into an email. Paragraph formatting, indenting, bullet points are NEVER retained in the correct format. PLEASE FIX THIS! It has been going on since the last update, and this update did not fix it.

  15. Don't reduce the font size in forwarded emails

    I know how to control the font size, but when I try to forward an email, Yahoo reduces the font size in the forwarded text. I correspond with many people who are older, and I consider it rude to send tiny text. Please don't reduce the font sizes!

  17. It is very difficult to copy an email address from another message to use for another purpose. I do not want to create contacts for each ema

    Please make it so there is an option to COPY email address when hovering over it. I don't want to have to add to contacts simply to email. Additionally, it is very difficult to have to highlight the very small text of the person's email. Plus it turns the contact to the name, not the email address, making it equally difficult.

  19. cursor jumps

    My cursor jumps to the beginning of the email every 5 seconds or so, seemingly with the "autosave." Searching through the database, they say that it is already resolved, but it obviously is not.

  20. When there is an email chain you cannot go to prior email and copy recipient email(s).

    Allow ctl-c after highlighting email addresses in prior emails. Or even better, make something like Ins copy them into draft address(es). Ctl-Ins for CC list?
