Yahoo filtering Gmail invites

I've just confirmed what some bloggers where saying. Yahoo is "blocking" invites from Gmail.
It is easy to test (if you have a gmail account). Just send a fake "empty" invite writen by you to a yahoo address, like this (text version at the end):

Then open your Yahoo address and go to the Bulk folder. You will see your mail there:

Here is the text version for you to copy and paste and test it by yourself:

has invited you to open a free Google Gmail account. The invitation will expire in three weeks and can only be used to set up one account.



To accept this invitation and register for your account, visit http://gmail.google.com/gmail/



Once you create your account, will be notified with your new @gmail.com address so you can stay in touch with Gmail!



If you haven't already heard about Gmail, it's a new search-based webmail service that offers:



- 1,000 megabytes (one gigabyte) of free storage

- Built-in Google search that instantly finds any message you want

- Automatic arrangement of messages and related replies into "conversations"

- Text ads and related pages that are relevant to the content of your messages



Gmail is still in an early stage of development. If you set up an account, you'll be able to keep it even after we make Gmail more widely available and as one of the system's early testers, you will be helping us improve the service through your feedback. We might ask for your comments and suggestions periodically and we appreciate your help in making Gmail even better.



Thanks,



The Gmail Team
