Summary: can't create Yahoo account with "@" sign in username

Initial Comment:
SBC and Yahoo have teamed up to provide Yahoo services,
including messaging.  Users using that have an @ sign
in their account/login name.
Can this be supported for logging into Yahoo messaging?

examples:
username-yBeKhBN/[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

Thanx

Re-categorizing as Feature request since we consciously do not support @
in yahoo screen names.
