There is. Recent Camino nightlies added the "like Firefox" to the  
user agent to work around most sites that incorrectly block Camino  
because the site's creator didn't bother to look for anything but  
Firfefox. That it allows you into Yahoo Mail is more of an unintended  
side-effect, since they are deliberately trying to handle Camino  
differently, rather than ignoring it out of ignorance.
