To verify the received message body isn't being hidden for some reason,
open the file that contains one of these messages in any text editor and
see if there is anything after the header. It's a long shot, but
perhaps Yahoo is converting your Mozilla 5.0 body into some weird
Content-Type which Mozilla 5.0 doesn't know how to handle.

If that shows you really aren't getting the body, next set up a second
email client (MR/2, PMMail, Polarbar, whatever) and be sure to check the
box that says "Leave Messages On Server". Once that's ready, use
Mozilla to send a test message to the list.

Then for a few hours download first to that email client before
downloading to Mozilla. You want to receive both the test message you
sent and a message from someone else on the list. If you _do_ get the
body in that email client but you don't get it in Mozilla 5.0 then
Mozilla is the problem. If both don't get the body then your ISP's mail
server isn't supplying the message body when requested. If you get the
body from the other message but you don't get the body from your own
test message then it's time to fire up IPTRACE and see if your message
body is actually being sent to the server.
