Opera dev Hallvord had then left a comment stating Opera soft will be working on it. He has kept his promise. Today or so (in Hallvord’s words) OddPatch 0.1 Beta will be launched. It will attempt to fix the flaws in Yahoo mail’s scripting through Opera’s browser.js . He writes in his blog : It’s a complex patch sorting out a daunting number of issues on both sides.

I don't expect any disastrous incompatibilities from them. Regarding rich text, it is a big feature and hard to implement. Think about it for a second, for years and years we have basically rendered documents according to formatting instructions that come down the wire. All of a sudden we're supposed to turn around and create those formatting instructions - whoa, how do we make an editor? But it is coming along nicely. Current incompatibility worries will be history eventually, and we'll probably have lots of other things to worry about.. We’re working on it :) I can’t wait to test the new Yahoo mail.

A Carnival is a way to showcase the best ideas of like minded individuals, garnering more traffic every week (for example, see a Carnival of the Capitalists post here: http://anyletter.blogspot.com/2005/05/carnival-of-capitalists.html ). The goal of this carnival is to promote different software and hardware products and reviews. I'd like to know if I could link to your site, specifically this post, but any other if you'd wish. For now, the first Carnival of Computing will be thursday, September 22. This will be a weekly afair, and if you'd like to showcase any articles in the future, please contact me at this address.

As far as Yahoo mail is concerned @Daniel :I myself dont have an account,but I asked someone who does.He said that it gives you a page complaining browser not supported when you use Opera to access the beta and offers you to use the old interface or log out.
