I'm trying to get YoSucker up and running with the new Yahoo mail system
and am getting the error:
YoSucker: Abnormal Yahoo Mail behavior (02)! Exiting - please retry...
(as a few others have reported).

I've been doing some debugging, and it looks like something has changed
with how Yahoo encodes the passwords in the URL.  For example, I see
YoSucker trying the URL:
http://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.tries=&.src=ym&.last=&promo=&.intl=us&.bypass=&.partner=&.u=8ueas8d0d3p48&.v=0&.challenge=hGryphkteFL9Bh_wofVwdeH7dnSu&.emailCode=&hasMsgr=0&.chkP=Y&.done=&login=wwwdrich&passwd=xxxxx&.persistent=&.save=1&.hash=1&.js=1&.md5=1
(I removed the password from the above)
Yet if I try that URL directly I get an Invalid Password error from
Yahoo.

I checked the password encoding in my config file, it hasn't changed
with the new version.

Does anyone have any ideas for a fix?
