The adverts do seem to be getting more anoying.  However they are
definitely worse on messages in Rich Text / HTML.  The large
Lipstick and Mascara images really take the p**s.

When you stick with ye good old plain text, Yahoo, only add a
bit of text instead.  I blame MS etc for creating email clients
that send Rich Text and HTML by default.
